How to: Loop braid with yarn

Helpful tutorials:
3 strand braid

You'll need:
1 big elastic
Smaller elastics (how many depends on the length of the hair)
Yarn, cut in pieces about twice the length of the hair (the more strands of yarn, the bigger your braids will be - I'd advice at least 10 pieces per 'strand')
If desired, a flower or bow hair clip

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Comb all of the hair back and tie it into a ponytail.
2. Take the pieces of yarn and pull them through the elastic, so that there's an equal amount of yarn pieces on each side of the ponytail. Pull on the pieces until both sides are the same length.
3. Take the yarn on one side and divide it into two strands.
4. Take a small strand of hair on the same side and start a regular 3 strand braid. Continue braiding until the end of the hair / the yarn and finish off with a small elastic.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the other side.
6. Cross the left yarn braid over the ponytail. Then cross the right yarn braid over the left braid. Do not pull them too tight, the idea is to create loops.
7. Now take a small strand of hair from the ponytail below the section where the yarn braids cross each other. Put this strand over the crossed yarn braids and then pull it through the middle of the ponytail to the back. Then put an elastic around the hair (so NOT around the yarn braids).
8. If you like, you can pull a little on the yarn braids to create better loops.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you've reached the end of the hair / yarn braids.
10. If you like, you can add a flower or bow clip as decoration to your ponytail.

Good luck!
