(rock)starburst.

the (rock)starburst braid.

the idea behind this braid was a sun shape, or a star bursting! and then it ended up looking like what would happen if Coolio's hair and Bjork's hair had a baby.

so, that's great. but Felicia rocked it anyway!

= 

here's how this went down. it took forever, by the way.
i began with a small french braid behind her bangs. i stopped the "french" part when i hit the crown of her head, and braided the rest into a regular braid. secured with a TINY BABY elastic band.
then did two more french braids on the side of the center one. and then another two behind her ears.
 
i stopped all of the braid in the center, as close to each other as possible.
i did two more small french braids (going up) from her neck to the center of the "burst."

once i had all the SEVEN braids complete, i twisted each from the center into a loop. 
i secured the ends, pointing out, with bobby pins. more of that ill-fated "bursting" idea.

so. many. braids.
enjoy!
