My hairstyle of the day is a rick-rack braid, they are very easy to do because they are very similar to a regular braid.

In this photo I have three rick-rack braids that are different sizes.

How do you make a rick-rack braid?

S T E P O N E-

Sectioned your hair into three pieces,a rick-rack braid needs to have one piece that is significantly thinner.

S T E P T W O-

Plait the braid at a regular tightness using the dutch technique (putting the middle piece on the outside).

S T E P T H R E E-

When you have a completed braid you will notice that it doesn't look like a normal braid as two pieces will be a lot thicker. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic.

S T E P F O U R-

Time for the pancaking! Not the pancakes you eat, 'pancaking' is pulling the hair looser. Pancake the thicker pieces so that they become flatter like a pancake. I feel like I have said the word pancake a lot...

S T E P F I V E-

When your hair resembles mine in the photo above you can do what I did and secure the braid at the back of the head with a bobby pin. You could even put it up in a pony tail, or let the braid hang down, it is your choice!
