How to: 5 strand ribbon braid with accent

Helpful tutorials:
Dutch 5 strand ribbon braid
3 strand braid (regular braid)

You'll need:
Two ribbon
One temporary elastic
One small elastic

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Start with a part just off centre.
2. Take a small strand of hair on the side with the least hair and do a regular 3 strand braid with this. Make sure the strand isn't too big, as it's meant as an accent braid!
3. Braid as far down the hair as possible and finish off with a temporary elastic.
4. Now take a strand of hair on the side with the most hair, bring this to the side and attach the two ribbons. A good length of the ribbon for this braid is about the length of the hair or just a little more.
5. When you've attached the ribbons, start a 5 strand ribbon braid. Make sure you add hair only three or four times!
6. After adding hair three or four times, add the accent braid to the left strand of the ribbon braid. Now continue braiding and only remove the temporary elastic from the accent braid when this braid has been braided into the ribbon braid properly.
7. Continue a 5 strand ribbon braid until the end of the hair and finish off with a small elastic.

Good luck!
