Zig Zag French Braid Hair Tutorial


 french braid updo with flower


I randomly created this fun snake french braid {or zig zag french braid} the other day and though I haven't seen it before, it doesn't mean it doesn't already exist somewhere with an entirely different name. But obviously, I had to share it with you. It's easy but difficult, if that makes sense. The one I wore the other day was on day dirty hair and was much looser. I've included a few of those photos here as well just to compare the two. I can't tell which version I like better though I'm leaning towards the looser/messier one for a daily look. However, if I was planning on wearing the style for a fancy event, I'd go with the tighter version. Enjoy!

I actually wear my hair like this to work but I finish it off at the bottom right side of my neck and wear it as a lazy side pony tail. Gets many compliments.

When asked how I make it, I never know how to explain it because it really started with me just playing with braids. I'm glad you've done a tutorial so I can share!

Lovely!

have you ever read a blog for a long time and then that blogger puts up a video, and it totally smashes the "image" you had of the way they talk or move?

i've been reading for at least a couple years, but this was actually the first video of you i've ever watched...you are JUST as lovely and cute and personable in video as i imagined.♥

and yeah, me too: i wish i had that much hair (and upper arm strength!) and just love your blog.

Hey Maegan! I love your tutorials! Like you, I have lots of thick hair, but mine is curly/wavy --depending on the day. I therefore have a higher frizz component than it seems you do. Any suggestions for how to tackle french braids (such as the tutorial above) when there's frizz involved?

WOW! Ok, no need to say you are def a pro in making nice hair styles... first one looked quite simple, but gosh scrolling down I am realizing you must be in the hair business! I would only look like that leaving a hair dresser. :-)
You look fab in all of them.
