Day 7

I decided to do another braid for this last style since my previous one was a hit (salsa girl emoji). This one is a little simpler for you all to try! :)

Step 1: Dry shampoo! (This is second day hair) I also re-curled the top section just so I would have some volume and curls in my layers that would fall out of the braid, but this step is optional.
Step 2:  Backcomb the crown section for some volume.
Step 3: Section your backcombed part into three and start to do an underbraid. This just means you're taking the sections UNDER the others instead of over, this is what makes the braid sit on top of the hair.
Step 4: French braid the rest of the hair by taking small sections and incorporating them into the braid. I took no bigger than 1/2 inch sections. 
Step 5: Before tying the braid off, pull it apart for volume.
Step 6: Hide your elastic by taking a section of hair, teasing it, wrapping it around the elastic and keeping it in place with a bobby pin.

I like my braids to be messy, loose and have a lot of volume so I pull mine apart before I put my elastic and after. I also let lots of hair fall out (You can always pin it back with a bobby pin if it gets too messy).
