LwW Loves: Cascading Braid

LwW Loves cascade braiding. Its quite simple and relatively quick (once you get the hang of it) and looks intriguing and amazing at the same time! 

To re-create the cascading braid, here's an attempt towards a tutorial:

• Try to comb out or straighten your hair a little bit so it doesn't tangle. Needless to say, if you're lucky to have straight or fine hair go on to step 2.

• Grab a big chunk over the top of your left ear and your parting and divide these in two for your top and middle strands of the braid.

• Take the remaining lock of hair behind your ear in your other hand. This should be the bottom most and longest strand that will go all the way around the back of your head. 

• Start with braiding these strands by taking the middle strand over the top strand. The top strand should fall over the bottom strand. This is so you can take the bottom and cross it over the middle strand that you've already braided. The result should look like the picture below where the bottom and middle strand cross each other in an X. The bottom strand should be straightened out to look like the top part of an X and the middle strand the bottom. (Phew!)

• Since you've left the top most strand hanging, take another chunk from the crown of your head (preferably a similar sized chunk so that you have about 5 to 6 top strands in your braid) and follow step 4. 
• Repeat with with all the top strands until you reach your right ear. Cross the middle and bottom strands twice to tighten your braid and use bobby pins to fasten the braid.
  Tip: Try using two (or in case your hair is as thick as mine, three) bobby pins and try to create an X. This way the bobby pins keep each other in place and dont undo. Use a third right through the center just to make sure.

The final product should look something like this: 

And from the front.

I like keeping it on the side since its so hot and humid these days and keeps my hair timid. Otherwise it becomes a nest.
