The Awesome Hairdo ( Z Braid)

 
This hair style is pretty crazy and is also reminds us of camp hair.  We learned it at camp from McKenzie Norman, so she deserves the credit.  She is the only one that I have seen do it, well her and her sister.  Annalisa actually did this one.  So, if you want to have some fun and are sitting around at camp or watching a movie give it a try.  The best part is that even if it doesn't turn out perfectly, the next day you will have incredible hair when you take it out.
Begin by parting on the right side, lightly spray with water and brush. 
Take three pieces on the right side at the bangs and begin french braiding.


At the beginning it is a diagonal braid.
Then the braid stays high and is parallel to the part going back.
You purposely leave hair on the bottom to use later. 
It looks like she has parted it, but you just try to grab in a line the best you can.  It would take forever if you parted it every time you grabbed more hair. 
At this point you turn your braid and follow the crown to the right side still keeping it high.


As you can see the part is not perfectly straight.

Continue until you can start pulling hair in from the front left.


It is important to leave some hair behind the ear to finish the braid at the end.
Make another turn to the left.

Leave some space between the upper braid so that you have some hair to work with as you continue to french braid. 

The key is not to grab too much hair or you will run out at the end. 
Make one more turn right.



Continue french braiding.


When you get behind the right ear finish with a regular braid.
Add an ouchless elastic and you're done.





Remember the next day her hair will look great as well!  Two hairdos for the price of one.
