We’re so envious of those of you that are able to braid your own hair. You probably never have a bad hair day ever, right? For the rest of us, we’ll just have to pin this post to show our hair stylist next time we want to up our ‘do. Thank you Heather Chapman for sharing this super gorge style with us!

1. Create a high ponytail. 2. Section the pony into two & fishtail braid each section until you get about 3/4 of the way down the section.

3.  Start to pull apart each braid, starting at the bottom & working your way up.  You can do a little or a lot.  Here, we did a little.

4. Once you’ve pulled your braids apart, simply lay them in the position that you find the best & pin into place. Gently pin in lovely hair ornament of your choice.
