Snake Braid Bun Tutorial
And now, for a pancaked version:
How to Create a Pancaked Three-Strand Snake Braid
1. Section off your hair.
To start your snake braid, section off the front portion of your hair. If you don’t have bangs, this will be the section of hair that would be considered your bangs. Next, you’ll want to split this section into three separate pieces for your braid.
2. Begin braiding your hair.
Once you have your hair divided, begin a regular three-strand braid until you reach the end of your hair.
3. Scrunch up the braid to create a snake braid.
When your braid is complete, hold down the middle piece of hair and push the two sides upwards until you reach the top of your head.
4. Create the snake-effect in your braid.
Now it’s time for the exciting part of the style! Gently pull apart your scrunched-up braid, so you create the snake-effect, You should end up with a braid where the two outer pieces of hair look like a squiggle.
5. Secure your snake braid in place.
After you’ve separated the scrunched-up braid and you’re happy with the snake-effect you created, secure your braid in place with a hair clip or hairpins.
6. Make sure your braid doesn’t move.
