the scorpion.

the scorpion braid.

a braid inspired by my childhood in arizona, living in fear of finding one of these nasty creatures in a shoe.

this is a nifty take on the fishtail braid! read below for a little how-to description. 

i began with all her hair straight down. then i separated it into two large chunks, pulling hair from by her ears.

i did essentially a fishtail braid, just on her head instead of in a ponytail.

i stopped at the base of her neck and separated the braid into three pieces. i made a little regular braid. then switched again to fishtail. then back to regular for the end of the braid.

i think it turned out pretty well!enjoy.
