What you'll need
Gel/moose/hairspray
bobbypin
brush/comb/rat tail comb
hair elastics
hair decoration(optional)
hair clip(to clip hair out of the way)

Brush hair throughout and apply desired texture product. Create a part at the crown of your head from ear to ear. Brush the back section into a pony tail at the crown and leave it for later. Part the front section on desired side just above the eyebrow arch. Taking a small section from your hairline at the top of the part hairspray section and begin your weave taking the rat tail comb at the top of your part, In equal sections go over/under over/under until you've reached the part. Pin the weaved section of the hairline ends at the top of the ponytail. Taking the rat tail comb reverse the basket weave pull the top sections of the basket weave over and clip out of the way taking a small section at the hair line spray with hairspray and pull it back over the ends you went under just before and pin at the pony tail elastic. Release the hair you clipped out of the way you should now have two basket weaved sections. Taking a rat tailed comb (at equal width with other two) weave reversing the previous section(where you went over go under where you went under go over) Clip the over sections up out of the way, pull a small section at hair line over where you went under just before hair spray and pin to hair elastic. Release clipped hair creating a third basket weaved section. Continue this until you reach the end of the part behind the ear. Basket weave braid the woven ends (if you don't know how i explain it in my basket weave braid blog) pin at the nape of your neck if hair is longer then the nape create a spiral with remaining ends and pin in place.  Repeat the basket weave,braid and spiral on the other side. Take the top three ends you pinned at the elastic and braid add the next pinned ends into a french braid when you run out of ends incorporate the hair from the pony tail in small sections so that your still adding hair just above the pony tail ends. Pull up at the base of the braid this should flare the braid out beautifully and pin just above the ponytail. Curl the ends of the braid under and pin against the nape of your neck.
