Our hair tutorial this week features a beautiful woven braid that is so easy to create! We saw this technique a few months ago on facebook and fell in love with how simple and gorgeous it is. As shown in our video, depending on how close together you place the elastics while forming this braid, you will have a completely different outcome. You can decide if you like the elastics showing a little bit or not, but I think both looks are very cute!

So many different styles could be created by using this concept. As shown, you could make a half up style or a full braided ponytail. Or, you could start by using this technique with a half up and finish off the rest of the hair into a gorgeous updo or bun. We have a completely different variation that we filmed coming next week with my daughter that I’m sure you will love

This braid should work with long hair, medium hair, straight, wavy, or curly. To make things easier on yourself, I would recommend cutting the elastics out when you take this style down (rather than unwinding each one.) A seam ripper or nail clippers work really well and make the job painless and quick.
