Zig Zag Braids

Easy one today! Five french braids, separated by zigzag parts! :) Easy, but cool looking. Holds up really well too! :) Get on it!

Start with one side of the head, closest to the face. Part off a section using a zigzag part. If you are unsure how to do a zigzag part, it's really easy. Take a rat tail comb and draw a zigzag along the scalp, part like you would normaly by running your finger down the end of the comb to separate. Pull your extra hair tightly off to the side so it stays out of the way and you get nice definition between braids. French braid that section, you can go all the way down or stop partway. Now section off for the next braid. I let my zigzags go wherever, but you could be careful and have them match up closely all the way around the head. Repeat this step though all 5 braids. Then I weaved them together a bit, put in an elastic, and the fishtailed the ends. If you wanted you could just do a pony, or even a regular braid at the ends. :D
