STACKED PULL-THROUGH BRAID

It’s a classy choice for a fancy Mother’s Day dinner or an elegant outing…
....but it also makes a breezy style for an outdoor picnic, a drive to the country, or a day at the beach!
And, if the Mother’s Day forecast calls for heat and sunshine...this off-the-shoulders look is sure to keep you and your favorite girl cool and carefree!1
STYLING THE BRAID...STEP-BY-STEP
Basically, this style is a Dutch pull-through braid with a smaller braid “stacked” on top.
To make it look its best, you’ll need:
- A good hairbrush
- A rat-tail comb
- One (1) ponytail holder
- 8 to 12 small hair elastics
- A bow or other styling accessory (optional)
- A quality hairspray (optional)
To style either your own hair, or your daughter’s, with this simply elegant braid, here’s what you do:
- First, pull the hair back into a high ponytail.
- Split the tail into two even sections...one on the top, another on the bottom.
- Separate a small section of hair from the top of the top section, and flip it, for now, over the top of the head.
- Tie up the remaining top section of hair with an elastic, a few inches down from the ponytail holder.
- Then, make a hole in the section of hair between the ponytail holder and the elastic, and pull the bottom section of hair through the hole so it’s now on top.
- Repeat steps 2 through 5 until you reach the end of the ponytail...the result will be a pull-through feather braid.
- Use the brush and comb to fluff each section of the bottom braid for an extra touch of volume.
- Then, starting with the highest small section of hair you separated from the main braid, begin making a regular three-strand braid.
- After a few stitches, add the next small separate section of hair to the braiding process.
- Continue braiding in this style till you get to the end of the hair. The anchoring pieces you created when you made the main braid will hold this smaller top braid in place.
- Then, secure the bottom of the braid with one more elastic.
- Add a ponytail accessory if desired.
- Spray for added hold and shine.
This lovely, great-for-all-ages style should take about 5 to 7 minutes to pull together.2
That means, in less than fifteen minutes, you and your daughter can meet the festivities in matching Mother’s Day glory!
