Lace braid tutorial

You'll need:
Three small elastics
Twisty pins

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Part the hair down the middle.
2. Start a lace braid from the middle of the back of the head. Bring the braid up and only add hair on the side of the part. Repeat this for three or four braid stitches and then bring the braid more to the side. Continue to add hair on one side only.
3. When you've braided another three or four stitches, bring the braid down (this creates the heart shape). Add hair until the ear and then continue braiding without adding in hair. Finish off with a temporary elastic.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side.
5. Bring the two braids together and put an elastic around it. You should have a heart shaped braid now.
6. Divide the hair from the elastic into two.
7. Now take a new strand of hair behind the ear, divide it into three and start a regular braid. Braid three times without adding in hair and then continue a lace braid: only add hair on the inside. This hair is from the 'heart hair'.
8. When you've added in all of the hair, continue braiding until the end of the hair without adding in. Finish off with a small elastic.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 on the other side. Try to add the same number of strands as on the other side.
10. If you like, add some twisty pins above the heart.

Good luck!
