How to: 6 strand ribbon braid with bubble fishtail braid

Today it's the Dutch King's birthday, so a special hairstyle with our Dutch colors: orange and red-white-blue!

Helpful tutorials:

Fishtail braid
Pancaking

You'll need:
1 big elastic
1 ribbon
Small elastics (how many depends on the length of the hair)

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Attach a ribbon to a small elastic. The ribbon can be the length of the hair (a little shorter is fine as well).
2. Comb all of the hair backwards and take a small section from the front. Bring this section forwards.
3. Take a small strand of hair below this section and attach the elastic with the ribbon to this. Then bring the front section back.
4. Divide this section of hair into 5 strands. The ribbon is your sixth strand. Arrange the hair like this: hair - hair - hair - ribbon - hair - hair.
5. Now start a 6 strand ribbon braid: cross the left strand under - over - under and then cross the right strand over - under - over.
6. Repeat step 5 until your braid reaches the neck.
7. Put an elastic around all of the hair. Do you have ribbon left? Then you can - after you've done the fishtail braid - tie it into a bow around the elastic (tip: do this after braiding the fishtail, or your bow may get loose again).
8. Now divide the hair from the ponytail into two and start a fishtail braid.
9. Braid about 6 or 8 pieces and then put elastics around the two strands you have. If you like, you can pancake the braid.
10. Continue step 9 until you've reached the end of the hair. Of course you can also choose not to braid until the end of the hair, like in the photo: step 9 has been done three times in total there.

Good luck!
