The braided masterpiece

Works best on: Medium to long hair

What you need: Hair elastics, bobby pins

How to get it:

1. Start with day-old hair. Part your hair down the middle to begin.

2. Take a 2-inch section of hair from either side of your head. Starting at the part, braid each section along the edge of your hairline down to the nape of the neck, just like a French braid. Secure each braid with an elastic.

3. Now create a zigzag part down the back of your head. Separate the rest of your hair into two sections, and create two more French braids down to the nape of your neck. Secure both braids with an elastic.

4. Twist the ends of all four braids into a low bun, and secure any loose pieces using bobby pins.
