Idk exactly, I've only seen two picture with it. I'm getting really desperate on trying to do it >_<
All I know it's a braid with curly hair and some how they are about to make the hair out of the braid look curly but still go inside the braid.

I've already looked. It's not the same at all. All the tutorials have their hair slicked back into a braid.

The actual braid is called a dutch pancake braid. However it seems that it's the base (the curly bit) that your stuck on.

If I were to try to recreate it I think I would start by curling the hair with a 1" (25mm) curling iron. I would then take the pieces that frame the face, one curl at a time, spray them with hairspray then kind of loosely curl/twist towards the crown of the head and pin in place with bobby pins. If you have particularly thin/flat hair you may wish to back comb these pieces very slightly. Make sure you only use small pieces from the hair line. If you look closely you can see the rest is pulled strait back into the braid.

Once your happy with the way the top is sitting you want to stay dutch braiding on the top right side of the head diagonally down to the left side of the nape. Then you want to pull each section of hair to give the pancake effect.
