Double Knotted Braids

When Brooklyn & Bailey were little, we used this hairstyle all the time. (Not sure why we stopped…?) Not too long ago I saw an old picture with this hairstyle and decided I should share with you!We called this the double knotted braid but you may have heard of it as the shoelace braid.  It’s very similar to tying your shoes.  With a little practice, you will find this hairstyle fairly quick and easy.  To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHDblKnotBraids

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 2 small hair elastics, hairspray or spray wax {if desired}.

Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes

Skill Level: Medium

Step-By-Step Instructions:

1. Start by parting the hair down the middle.
2. I prefer to do this on wet hair.  If your hair is dry, spray a little water to dampen the hair.
3. Go to the top front and pick up a small piece of hair and divide into two sections.
4. Take the left section under the right and tie a knot like a shoe lace.  (see video for visual instructions)
5. Add hair  to both pieces and use the same technique by crossing the left piece under the right and tie in a knot like a shoe lace.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 until you run out of new hair to add.
7. Secure with an elastic.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 on the opposite side of the head.
9. I added ribbons for a pop of fun.
