Zig-Zag Braid Also referred to as the snake braid or the slide-up braid, the zig-zag is easily created by pleating your hair in a regular braid, then pushing it up. Watch the CuteGirlsHairstyles' video tutorial to see exactly how it's done.
Bonus tip: For this braid to look flawless, your hair needs to be smooth as silk (i.e. no second-day hair). Also, the key to creating the zig-zag pattern is to first create a loose braid so that there is room to slide it up at the end. If you have long hair, go for a thicker braid, and if your hair is on the shorter side, go for a thinner braid.
This is soooooo great! I tried french braiding my hair before & complete failure...my hair is super thick, greasy, and straight but I will definitely give these tutorials a try!
The "half dutch braid" is called a "lace braid". Also, for a DUTCH braid, you ARE bringing the pieces UNDER the center strand not over. You bring them OVER for a french braid.
It was fun to see all these braids in one article. I've always loved braiding since I was a kid & have always believed they're for every age, despite some people's opinions. I have been loving all the new videos sharing tips. I especially love CuteGirlsHairstyles and was so glad they got to be in this article. :)
I love braiding my hair and I am always looking for some new way to do it! I actually favorited almost all of these videos on my youtube account! Thank you.
