 Hey it's Missy! Thank you for watching! Today's tutorial is this half up style and this braid is a lot easier to do than it looks.

For this hairstyle, the first thing you'll want to do is divide out your different sections. So I'm dividing out some hair to frame my face and clipping this aside so I don't accidentally pull it into the braids. And then I'm going to make my part a little bit deeper on the right side. And now I'm going to divide out the crown section of hair and clip this out of the way. This will just help the braids lay a little bit cleaner at the very end. So once I've got my main section of hair for the braid, I'm going to split this into two sections for each braid since I'm doing two and I'm clipping the smaller top section out of the way because I'll do that braid second after the first one. So now I'm going to pick up a section of hair for the first braid right underneath the clipped section and divide this into three smaller pieces. And for the bottom braid I'm going to do a Dutch braid so the side strands are being crossed underneath the middle strand. And I'm just alternating between the right and left side strands. And after the first stitch of the braid, I'm going to start incorporating new sections into the braid on both sides, the left and the right side. And I only brought in about four sections just until the braid reaches my left ear. And then I'm going to go back over the braid and start pulling on the edges. Since you'll want the bottom braid to stick out from under the top braid, it's best to make this braid as wide and as big as you can. Not so big that it falls apart, but just big enough that it'll show and so you like the look of it. So I'm just going to take it section by section starting at the bottom of the braid and slowly working upwards, pulling on different pieces so the braid flattens out. Then I'll braid a little further down, go back and pull on the sides, then braid down a little bit more and pull those sides out until I've gone down far enough on the section. And then I'm just going to slide a bobby pin over the end so that it doesn't unravel. Once that braid is done, I'm going to move on to the second braid. And so I'm just going to unclip the section of hair and do a regular three-strand braid. So I'm just dividing it into three sections and crossing the side strands under the middle strand. You can cross the side strands over or under either way works. I just do under because I think it's a lot easier. So I'm just going to work my way all the way down the section of hair to the bottom. And since I want this braid to stay small, I'm just going to slide a bobby pin over the bottom without pulling on the edges at all. And then once both braids are done, now I can clip them up. So I'm going to take the big one first and I'm wrapping it around the back of my head and I'm just going to pin it against my head with some bobby pins. And then, of course, remove the bobby pin that was at the bottom of the braid. And then I'm just going to take the smaller braid and line it up so it goes right down the center of the big braid and pin it in place with some more bobby pins. And then just remove the bobby pin from the end of the braid, of course. I love how complicated this hairstyle looks, but it's actually a lot easier than you might think. Just two braids stacked on top of each other. So be sure to let me know what you think of this hairstyle down below in the comment section. Thank you so much for watching.
