Today, I'm showing you guys how I do my halo braid - and this is definitely more of an advanced hairstyle. This style took me a long time to get the hang of. So if you don't get it your first try, it do not beat yourself up, because I definitely did not get it. My first try or my fifth try so yeah. It definitely takes some practice, but I always start by sectioning off the front pieces. These are the pieces that I'll leave out of the braid. I like these to be framing my face when I'm all done so. I just take out the pieces. I want and then put the rest behind my ears to kind of keep it out of the way and then on the right side of my head about two, maybe three inches above my ear. I'M just making a part and kind of pulling the rest of the hair over and then you take three small sections and you just start to do a Dutch braid you'll keep doing a Dutch braid until you get to the point where it's awkward to keep going Back any further and then you'll have to rearrange your hands and whatever hand was holding. The bottom section will now hold the top section and vice-versa, so you'll kind of arrange your hands that way and as you'll see here in a second it. Like always, takes me a second to do this, I don't know why it's like so confusing to me so once you have that then you'll just keep going and you'll kind of want to keep track of what section needs to go underneath next and then you'll just Keep doing a Dutch braid through the back of your head when you get to about here. You'Ll have to rearrange your hands again and then continue the Dutch braid, but this time, you'll kind of angle it up and then around your head and just be sure you don't incorporate the pieces that you had originally left out so the pieces that you want to Frame your face just make sure you don't include those in the braid as well. Once you've run out of hair and you've kind of finished the braid, then you can go through and pull it apart as much as you want. I actually think that this braid looks cute when it's not pulled apart, but of course I always am like addicted to pulling my fur. So I went through and made mine a little bit chunkier, but I think it's fine without it. So if you feel like you're gon na mess up your braid, I would say just leave it how it is and then you can use an elastic and tie it off and then you'll just kind of hide it behind your braid. Depending on how long your hair is, it might be on like different parts of your head, but you'll just hide the end pieces, and then you are all done if you liked this hairstyle then give it a thumbs up, and let me know what you guys want To see next, thanks for watching you

Ashley Loaeza: I love how clear and easygoing you are with your tutorials. You are simple to follow and with an advanced hairstyle like this, you still manage to display it in a way that is not too crazy or difficult to recreate and eventually get the hang of. Thank you again, Amber! Love you so much. I'm a huge fan.

Jennifer Kennett: Excellent tutorial!! My first attempt was pretty decent and gives me hope that it will just get better - there was a point as I was coming back around the front that I figured I was going to end up with a ponytail at the front of my head but then it all pulled together! And I got loads of compliments!! Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful hairstyles!
Taylor Gerrells: I absolutely LOVE this tutorial! I saw it in one of your Instagram pictures and instantly began searching for a tutorial, then you made one. It is like you are a mind reader!
