A couple of months ago, I received an email from a reader (Alisha) requesting a tutorial on this amazing braid from an awesome Instagram account called "@Arwelin" (which I believe is Russian.) I decided to take on this challenge, and after some trial and error, I think I have the braid decoded (but still not 100% this is the same technique used in the original photo.) Over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed this same braid popping up all over hairstyling pages on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. It is becoming quite popular and I am certainly not the first to figure this out!
At first glance, this braid looks quite similar to the 5 strand checkerboard braid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAitJ5s7sZg) we did a couple of years ago. But I'm pretty sure this particular braid is actually made using an "inside out" or dutch) fishtail braid technique (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9ZA9ZGcGzM) and is quite different. For simplicity sake, I chose to show this braid in a ponytail (which should be fairly easy to learn.) With a little more practice and difficulty, this same braid can also be turned into a French (or Dutch) braid by incorporating hair from the sides into the braid.
In our video tutorial, we show 2 hairstyles that can be made using this braid. A ponytail, and an updo. Of course, the possibilities are endless in the designs that can be created after you master this braid!
