How to make the braid of Elsa, snow queen?

Elsa's braid, snow queen

The braid of Elsa, main character of the movie "Frozen", is an African braid. This hairstyle is quite simple to achieve. The most important thing to achieve this hairstyle is to give volume to the hair. For those who have them thick and dense, this will not pose a particular problem. If you have thinner hair, use rollers or a curling iron to add volume, then backcomb it with a comb for even more effect. If you have too short hair, do not hesitate to use additions to be able to achieve this hairstyle. Choose them in a color very close to your natural color and clip them behind the head. After achieving this hairstyle, you will feel proud like Elsa, the snow queen!

How to do Elsa's braid?

Begin the braid in the middle of the head, about level with the ears. Take three strands from the top of your hair then braid, adding strands of the remaining hair as you go until all are caught in the braid. When you get to your shoulders, pull the braid forward. To make a braid, you will need three strands of hair, you will have to pass the left strand over the middle strand then the right strand over the middle strand and so on. Braid the hair all the way down and secure it with a fairly thin or transparent elastic. For more volume, pull the hair outward all the way through the braid. Pull out a few fairly large strands of hair at the front of the head and secure them with pins or hairspray at the back, leaving them with some volume. There you go, you have the same braid as Elsa!
