How to Braid Lace and Related Products

The lace braid many times can be confused with other braids such as the waterfall braid and the french braid. Essentially, the lace braid it a french braid, except you add hair to one side only as you braid. It is most commonly used in "headbands' as you see in the picture to the left. The detailed instruction is below,

Step 1 Separate the section of your hair to be braided — the hair just around the crown of your head — from the rest of your hair. 

Step 2 This braid usually goes from ear to ear, so start braiding either above or just behind one ear as you would a French braid.

Step 3 When you’re ready to start adding pieces of hair, only add hair to the side that is closest to your forehead. For the other side just keep braiding but don’t pick up anymore hair to add in. Continue braiding across to your other ear.

Step 4 After you finish braiding the entire section, end the braid with a small elastic behind the ear. If you wear your hair down, you can use bobby pins to secure the plait from moving around. Or you can work the braid into a low chignon. However you choose to wear it, you’ll have a built-in headband that keeps the hair off your face and looks great.

Don't get discouraged the first time you try. Get a friend or a family member to be your model as you practice this braid. Once you master the basics of this type of braid the other hairstyle variations will come easy!
