Although classic styles are a reliable go-to, every tradition needs a stylish update. A great example is the reverse french braid. While the classic french braid holds it’s own, this fun and quirky braid is a great version! See the steps below!
- Start as you normally would with a french braid by taking a section of hair and dividing it into 3 strands.
- As a second step, rather than placing the pieces over each other like a classic french braid, place them under each other. This is what will give your finished braid the ‘reverse’ look.
- Continue braiding and, with each strand, gather hair from beneath and incorporate into your braid be sure to place each strand UNDER the other, not on top!)
- Secure with an elastic!
Voila! The next time you’re looking for a classic hairstyle with a modern twist, give the Reverse French Braid a try!
