What is the Butterfly Braid?
The butterfly braid is a unique braiding technique that creates a beautiful, intricate braid that looks like a butterfly. It’s also known as the ribbon braid or the bow braid. This braid is perfect for those who want to add a touch of elegance to their hairstyle.
How to Do the Butterfly Braid
Before we get started, you’ll need some basic supplies:
- Comb
- Hair elastics
- Hairspray
Now, let’s begin:
- Start by dividing your hair into two sections, left and right.
- Take a small section of hair from the left side and divide it into two equal strands.
- Twist the two strands together once.
- Take a small section of hair from the right side and cross it over the two twisted strands.
- Take a small section of hair from the left side and cross it over the right section you just added to the twisted strands.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you reach the end of the section of hair you’re working with.
- Secure the end of the section with a hair elastic.
- Repeat steps 2-7 on the other side of your head.
- Take the two twisted sections and bring them to the back of your head.
- Tie them together with a hair elastic.
- Take the remaining hair below the two twisted sections and tie it together with another hair elastic.
- Spray your hair with some hairspray to set the style.
And there you have it! The butterfly braid is complete.
My Experience with the Butterfly Braid
I first tried the butterfly braid for my best friend’s wedding, and it looked absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on my hairstyle, and it stayed in place all night long. Since then, I’ve worn the butterfly braid on several occasions, and it’s become one of my go-to hairstyles. I prefer to do it with a little bit of hairspray to help keep it in place, especially if I know I’ll be dancing or moving around a lot.
