Instructions

  1. How to get the look: Begin with a center part.

  2. Continue the part down the back of the head and tie off the right side.

  3. Grab a flower crown and place it on top of the head, about 3 inches back from the hairline, tie it in the back.

  4. Take a section of hair on the left side right next to the part and divide it into three pieces.

  5. Begin a regular braid crossing the side strands over the middle strand.

  6. Continue braiding a lace braid by bringing in hair from the front and adding it into the braid.

  7. Once the braid reaches past the ear, continue braiding a french braid by pulling in hair from both sides.

  8. Continue braiding until it reaches the back of the head.

  9. Braid the hair a little farther down, in a regular braid, and tie off the end.

  10. Repeat steps 4 through 9 with the right side of the head.

  11. When both braids meet, pull all the hair up into a ponytail.

  12. Divide the ponytail into two halves.

  13. Braid each half into a regular style braid.

  14. Take one braid, wrap it upwards and clock-wise creating a bun. Pin off the braid so it stays in place.

  15. Repeat step 14 with the other braid to create an intricately braided bun.
