French Braid Pile-Up

Hi everybody,

This morning I tried something a little adventurous -- I parted my hair down the center, then divided the two sections in half to make a total of four parted sections (like a pie divided four ways).  I made two upside-down French braids and two regular French braids, then combined all the braid tails into a high ponytail which I wrapped up into a bun.  Here are (quite a few!) pictures of the results.  I think hairstyles with multiple braids always look so fun.  As always, thank you for following my hairstyle blog!  I appreciate everyone's views and comments :-)

Micronesian Girl~ Opposite French Braids

Hello everybody!

My little friend had the cutest hairstyle on Sunday~ her mama made a crooked middle part and braided one French braid from top to bottom, the other braid from bottom to top.  Such a sweet look <3

 

Upside-down French Braid

I finally attempted an upside-down French braid!  I started out with thoroughly combed-out hair, so the tangles were minimum.  I was able to keep my hair basically tangle-free by running my fingers down to the ends of my hair each time I added a new section.  For the top, I added another French braid going in the normal direction with my left-over hair.  I like the over-all gathered look that this hairstyle has on each side~ and it's stayed up all day long!

 

Upside-Down Lace Braid Topknot

Hi everybody,

Today for the first time I tried my hand at an upside-down braid. I wasn't up to an upside-down French braid, but I did manage this lace braid/topknot combo.  I really like how it turned out, especially with my hair fork :-)

Upside-Down French Braid

Hey everybody,

I hope you had a great week-end!  My sister created this pretty updo with an upside-down French braid and a high braided bun.  Some pictures taken in the morning sun:
