    How-To: Learn a Lace Braid

    We're all about the braiding sessions here at Sugar HQ — fishtail, four-strand, and now a lace braid. This style can be created with French (or Dutch) plaits with one small change: you only add new pieces of hair to one section of the braid. Since we just made an impromptu "salon," I was only working with two bobby pins and no comb. It's not pulled as tightly as you'd want — for say, a night on the town — but get the same idea with these steps.

    Thanks for the tip!

    For some reason, my sister can do this to her own hair. But when I try, it always gets messed up. LOL.

    Great tutorial, thanks! (and that lady has gorgeous hair!)

    I'll have to give this another try - I usually always end up with a braid that's considerably thicker at the end than at the start, to the point it's not pretty. I'm obviously missing something.

    I'll have to try this. I've tried this before and it seems to mess up. I'll try the ear to ear and report back. French braids look so great and if done right stay put. But my arms & fingers hurt after a while :/

    I've been loving all the braiding tutorials, Bella. I have always loved braids but, for a while, nobody seemed to be wearing them. For my super-long thick hair, it's a fun way to manage the "poof" and keep me from my usual boring style (up in a bun).

    ahh i love this hairstyle, i wear it loads and i always get compliments that it looks lovely, its really easy too when you get the hang of it and keeps all your hair off your face for work and things.

    Omg, this was so helpful! I tried to do it on my own but added hair on the left side of my head, preventing me from achieving the lace effect!
