What you will need

Hair brush/comb
Gel/moose/hairspray (texture)
bobbypins
small clear or hair color elastic
hair embellishments(optional)

Brush hair thoroughly and apply hair texture products throughout. Create a divide down the center to the back of your head in a zig zag fashion. Tie 1 of the 2 sides off for later. Collect hair as if forming a pig tail, release tendrils from the front to the back of your head from your now pigtail side. Without using an elastic create a low braid pigtail pulling your hair up over your head to eliminate bump or bulges later. Repeat instructions from side one with side two. Similar to this.....

 

Bring side one up and over your head like a headband and pin in place curling the ends behind your braid. Bring second braid over in front of the first one pinning the braid base to your first sides ends. Bring completely over your head and tuck ends behind and under into first braid and pin in place. Check hair, to insure head band looks fluid. Your can curl the tendrils or leave down as is.
