Greek Key Braids

Hello friends,

     Today I wore my new Greek-island print shirt, and I wanted to fix my hair in a style to match.  So I put my hair into a ponytail and braided it in two Greek key braids.  Then I looped my braids up to a length that I liked, and pinned them in place with bobby pins and a few small clips.
     A Greek key braid is a regular 3-strand English braid, but one of the strands is extremely tiny.  That simple technique is what gives this braid such a unique look.

     And since this is a  post about a Greek-inspired hairstyle, here are a few pictures from a friend of mine who is actually from Greece~ so beautiful <3

 

4-strand braid, with a slightly different technique

Happy Monday :-)

Today I made a slanted 4-strand braid, but one of the strands was tiny while the other three strands were larger and all equal.  When I finished making my braid, I put my hair into a side bun.  Then I went back and tugged on the outer edge of my braid.  This gave it an interesting look, almost like a scalloped edge.
     Thank you, everyone!  I love sharing hair pictures here with all my friends around the world.

Waterfall Braid & Greek Key Bun~ my look for today

Hi everybody,

Today I made a slightly different version of the hairstyle from my last demo video.  This time I only made one braid, a waterfall braid where I gathered smaller sections of hair and made the braid longer.  After I made my braid I gathered my hair into a low ponytail, and braided my ponytail in a Greek key braid which I wrapped into a bun.  I like the way the sections of the waterfall braid look like stripes.
     Thank you for coming to see my new post!
