French Headband

This is the French headband. It wasn't very hard to learn, considering I already knew how to do a French braid. It's basically just a French braid, starting from the end of the left eyebrow and ending at the end of the right eyebrow, so it's a headband. The most complicated part was trying to keep all of the hair separated. Next, I will post my progress on the French braid, but for now, here is the French headband. 

Progress on the Snake Braid

This braid is almost as easy as the simple 3 strand braid. In fact, all it is is the 3 strand braid with an extra step. You just do an easy 3 strand braid, then you take 2 strands in one hand and the other strand in the other. After that, you take the 2 strands and pull the in an upward motion along the braid, then spread it out. That's the end of the snake braid.  It may sound a little complicated now, but once you try it, it becomes quite easy.

Reflection

I've been doing lots of braids, but haven't been posting. I have 6 or 7 braids that I have pictures of to post, but I need to get caught up on actually posting them. I have done the snake braid, the French head band, the French twist,  and progress on my French braids. In my opinion, the latest French braids look pretty good. I've improved a lot. They have gotten to where they aren't loose on the head anymore, and just the braid in general looks better. Out of all the braids, I think the French head band was the hardest. It wasn't hard to learn, but it was hard to keep all of the hair separated and hold all of it. I need to keep working and keep improving, but for now, I think they're all pretty good. 

Progress on the Flower Braid

I tried to do the flower braid this time, but it didn't exactly go as planned. I need a lot more practice to master the flower braid, but this is my progress on it. I've been working on other braids that I will soon post. I've worked on the fishtail braid some, the snake braid, which I will post next, and the upward lace braid. These 3 braids are not very hard to do, with the upward lace braid being the hardest and the snake braid being the easiest. I will keep practicing the flower braid, and until then, I will work on some new braids as well.
