My neat 4 Strand Braid.

[ZadenWillowfyre]

Just kinda was fooling around and came up with this neat 4 strand braid and thought i'd share. It's very think (this is only half my hair!) and leaves a tad bit tail but I really like it.

That's really cool! I love your hair color btw. :)

[Periwinkle]

That's stunning! I really can't get the hang of 4-strand braiding...I can do it on strings but the minute I try and apply that to hair, my own or anyone else's, I'm all thumbs.

[ZadenWillowfyre]

Thanks so much! I think this would look fab on really really long hair.

[FallenAngel]

Wow, you have beautiful hair, and the braid looks great as well!

[Gumball]

That looks great! It looks more like a flat 4-strand since the box-braid version is, well, boxier. At longer lengths the flat 4-strand starts to slowly twist. Yours turned out really well! Good job. :thumbsup:

[ZadenWillowfyre]

Thank you all! I am mainly amazed at how much length this eats up! It makes my hair look much shorter than it is hehe.

[Coriander]

Very nice! My hands wouldn't know what to do and I'd probably end up with something that required oil and fifteen hours of combing out the snarls :D

Your one braid is thicker than my entire braid!

Did you do it like this one? http://dreamweaverbraiding.com/braids/flat4.htm Whenever I do that, it tends to spiral. Yours is amazingly non-spiraly. Cool.

[eresh]

Yours looks really good!

[eternallyverdan]

Wow! That's really nice. I just tried this and mine looks all evil and twisty:

Stunning is definitely the right word for your hair. This braid looks great, and really very neatly done! And i'm amazed by how much hair you have... (i'm a finie thinnie, in the greatest depth of envy)

[Jessikinz]

That looks very nice. I have tried to this so many times, and failed.

[Rentlle]

perfect braid!

[eadwine]

Very well done! :)

Wow thats amazing! You have gorgeous thick hair!

[swanns]

Wow, it really is very neat! Good job! :flower:

[GoddesJourney]

No way! I came up with this same one about a week ago. Hi five!

[ZadenWillowfyre]

@eternal -wow...that is super long and awesome! I like the twist! It's unique!
Everyone else...thank you so very much again.

[MuzicalH3rb]

That's really cool. I've never seen a braid like that before.

[JKRBeloved]

ZadenWillowfyre, your braid is amazing, and I agree that the non-spiraliness of it is wonderful.

[JamieLeigh]

Wow, that looks great! Love the hair color, btw! :)

[Nyghtingale]

That's really pretty. You did a great job.

[Amara]

Oh that's very cool! I have yet to try a four strand braid. Strangely the directions for 5 strand seemed simpler to me so I went for that option first. LOL

[coolbreeze212]

That's only half your hair?? Wow!! It's so thick and pretty!

[Gary Miller]

Eresh...your hair looks really amzing!

[Aditi]

Outstanding :thumbsup: and i like your hair color too.

I'm *so* glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I won't wear a four-strand anymore; I hate that twist. So it's threes or fives for me.

Give the four-strand another go! The box braid is just a different type of four-strand. The twisty kind is the flat version.
