Fun Fact: I had fun doing my hair today! The easiest way to braid your hair around your head is to part it down the middle first. Flip your head over and start french braiding the one side of your head from the bottom and continue the braid along the top of your head along to the other side while picking up the part of the hair that you sectioned off. When you get to the section behind your ear braid all the way down straight and tie it off with an elastic. Then take bobby pins and pin the rest of the braid around your head and hide the ends under the other part of the braid. Spray it with hairspray and pull it a little bit to make the braid bigger and messy! In order to do this you basically need to know how to french braid your hair yourself! or you can always get a friend to do it!
