Chic Easy Hairstyles Part 4

For this next hairstyle, it will be a variation from my previous post of the Curly Front Twist called the Braided Headband. Similarly, this braid goes across the front of your head but instead of twisting, you are braiding. Starting at the front from one side of the head, you want to French braid across your head. By taking three strands of hair and putting one strand over the other, you repeat while taking more pieces from the side in between every other rotation. Once you get to the point you want to end the braid, you finish the tail of the braid and pin the braid to the side of your head with a bobby pin. A tip from Jenny Strebe in 5 Minute Hairstyles says you can create more fullness by "pulling on each section, as if you are fanning out a deck of cards" (Strebe 10).

In all this braid is very similar to the Curly Front Twist, but requires a little more skill to be able to French braid. However, once you have mastered the French braid this is also another quick, easy hairstyle to wear. Jenny Strebe also says this style is ideal for every hair length (Strebe 10). Do you prefer the French braid or the Twist braid?
