The finished look of the European and American braid
This braid might look simple, and it's not difficult to do. The vertical twist is elegant and gentle, while the European and American style is simpler and more attractive.
Below is an illustrated tutorial for this simple European and American braiding. If you like it, why not give it a try?
Tools needed: Elastic bands, several small hair clips
Step 1: Brush all your hair backward (unless you want bangs; then, you don't need to brush them back). Then, casually part the bangs in the middle. Take an equal amount of hair from both sides of the bangs and tie them in a cross knot.
Step 2: Then, from beneath the previously taken hair, take two strands of hair from each side and combine them with the leftover hair from the knot, tying another knot.
Step 3: Continue adding hair and tying knots. Adjust the tightness of the knots as you prefer. Sunny from Love Beauty suggests keeping it moderate—not too loose or too tight.
Step 4: Keep adding hair and tying knots until all the hair from both sides is incorporated.
Step 5: Secure the remaining ponytail with an elastic band after finishing braiding.
Step 6: Finally, just hide the remaining ponytail. You can curl the end of the hair inward, create a small hole in the side of the elastic band, tuck the curled ponytail inside, and secure it with a small hair clip.
Quick tip: If your hair is very long or thick, this European and American braiding style might not be the best choice. If you're really keen on trying it, you might need to create a bun at the end.
You can also pair with Shefav hair clips or hair pins or other hair accessories, it will show your beauty perfeclty. You can find your go-to hair accessories in Shefav.
