Funky different way to braid

[tiny_teesha]

I just stumbled upon this video:

check it out! I'm sure in my carelessness I've rushed a braid at night similar to this but i didn't pull tight enough so didn't get the zig zag look.
Is the pulling bad? I'd assume it would be similar to back combing?


eta- this looks good too

Yeah, I'd think that wouldn't be the greatest for the hair cuticle. Probably once in a blue moon is OK, but I'd probably not want to do it anyhow since my hair is pretty fragile.

It DOES look cool, though. ;)

[Bianca]

I like the braid, but I wouldn't do it on my hair, it looks a little rough with all the pulling :p

[Vivien']

Ouch ! She's pulling hard ! Anyway, it's a pretty braid.

[GlassEyes]

You could probably do it without pulling so hard.

April Elf's done it.

[eadwine]

Ah yeah, I remember that top one, indeed there is no need to pull hard at all. :)


Nr2 I don't have to try at all.. one of her three braids is my whole one! It would look pathetic.

[Gumball]

GlassEyes beat me to it! I agree. Sometimes you can do things without having to do stuff super hard. I mean you can bun hair so tight it hurts, but can achieve the same look by being gentle, too, can't you? The latter is so much nicer.

[AprilElf]

As GlassEyes said, I have done the first one, and I too was worried about pulling the hair backwards on itself. I tightened it as gently as I could and it worked fine. Still, I wouldn't want to do the style too often.

(Dail-up is still loading the second vid. :o ... )

[Phalaenopsis]

Oh, I liked this one when I saw it, but that's one braid I can't do :o My hair just slips so it won't look like that.

[desertrose]

:eyebrows:woow i like the second one

[Cerenia]

For me the braiding looks a bit weird :undecided
And she's really pulling a bit too hard, that hurts if you just watch it ^^

[viking_quest]

That second braid looks amazing. I need to remember that when my hair gets longer.

[HildeMV]

That's how my rope braid turns out if the two pieces aren't of equal size.

[Amara]

That's cool... but she's being pretty rough - yeah, I would liken it to backcombing, although probably not AS bad.

[Coriander]

I like the first one and would think that you could do that without yanking your hair out :laugh:

The second one I love, however can't even do a fishbone yet.

Cool styles!

I got a message that the first video is no longer available.

as for the second one... i like the look but as long as it takes me to do a herringbone braid I can't see me be willing to pull it out of whack once it's done :)

[tiny_teesha]

the first is basically braiding, but 2 pieces really thin, one thick, and pull hard on the thin strands, it ends up looking like a zig zag.
haha touche Pegs! :)

[Psalm186]

I absolutely LOVe the second one!

I just subscribed to Sharon Blain's channel, and now I have to watch every single video! Aside from some pretty horrendous teasing and pulling in some of the styles, they look quite spectacular. Very imaginative!

I love this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEuf5joyPYk
