#infinity braid

Two weeks ago, I did a tutorial on the hairstyle worn by Antiope in the Wonder Woman movie. I also mentioned that there would be a tutorial on Diana’s hairstyle coming up soon, and that’s what I have for you today! After taking a look at the braid, I recreated it to the best of my abilities and put together this tutorial.  The style of braid used in this hairstyle is a type of Infinity Braid, however; if you find infinity braiding to be difficult, you could choose to do part or all of the hairstyle with a fishtail braid and you will still end up with a similar result.   Have any of you gone out to see Justice League yet? If not, maybe you can wear this hairstyle to the screening.  Send me pictures if you do!

Materials:

1) Brush

2) Large Hair Tie

3) 2 Small Hair Ties

4) Bobby Pin

Procedure:

1) Begin by brushing out your hair.

2) Tie the top middle of your hair into a small ponytail.

3) Split the ponytail into two sections. These will be the two bases of your braid.

4) Take a small piece of hair from the front right of your head.

5) Cross the piece underneath the right section of hair.

6) Bring the piece above the left section.

7) Wrap the piece around the left section, bringing it back up to the right section.

8) Now that the infinity shape is completed, leave the piece of hair where it is so that it is permanently part of the right section.

9) Grab a small piece of hair from the front left of your head.

10) Cross this piece below the left section of hair.

11) Bring the piece above the right section.

12) Wrap the piece around the right section and bring it back up to the top of the left section.

13) Let the piece be incorporated within the left section for the duration of the braid.

14) Continue this pattern of infinity braiding new pieces of hair around your base pieces.

15) Once all of your hair is incorporated into your braid at the nape of your neck, tie off with a hair tie.

16) Hide the hair tie by wrapping a small piece of hair around the tie and bobby pinning into place.  Note: Steps 15 and 16 are both completely optional, but I find it helps to hold my braid in place when I tie and pin it partway through.

17) Begin a regular infinity braid down your hair. Click here for a full infinity braid tutorial.

18) Once you are about two thirds down your hair, tie off with small hair elastic. Finish everything off with some hair spray.
