waterfall peasant.

waterfall peasant braid.

this is a version of the waterfall braid, but it keeps felicia's hair up and off her neck. comfort AND beauty, folks. winning!

i began above her right ear making a waterfall french braid. i just dropped the bottom piece and picked up a new one at each segment of the braid. there are a bunch of awesome waterfall braid youtube tutorials for this part. 
(see - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y90s6neUKEY )

i did a loose waterfall braid across her head until i got to her left ear.

then i did a french braid (very loose) below the waterfall braid, this time going left to right.

i finished with a little side braid, purposely uneven, and put an elastic band in to leave some loose hair in the ponytail.

secured a few pieces with bobby pins and then a little hairspray for the flyaways! gorgeous! if it weren't winter.. and we had little wildflowers around the yard... i would stick a few flowers in the braid. a ribbon around the elastic would also be pretty.
