How To Braid Your Hair Like Willie Nelson

From Shelly Fabian, About.com Guide

Haven't you always wanted that chic Willie Nelson look? Here's how to get it.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 30 minutes

Here's How:

  1. Start with clean, dry hair. Shoulder-length or longer hair works best.
  2. Part hair down the back with a comb.
  3. Separate the two sides with hair clips.
  4. Start with one side; we'll start with the left. Separate the hair into three equal parts.
  5. Cross the far right part over the center so that the right part is now in the center, and the center is now on the right.
  6. Cross the far left part over the center so that the left part is now in the center, and the center is now on the right.
  7. Continue this procedure until you are at the bottom of the length.
  8. Use a rubber band to secure the ends, overlapping the rubber band til the hair is tightly held.
  9. Repeat steps 4 - 6 on the right side.
  10. Find a large bandana to tie around your forehead. And there you have it. The Willie Nelson look.

Tips:

  1. If you prefer, instead of rubber bands to tie the hair, use 8-inch long leather strips and wind them around and tie.
