10 Zipper Braid Hairstyles That Are Drop Dead Gorgeous
Zipper braids are the coolest types of braids for young girls. We all know how kids get excited when they have a new hairstyle. Why not be the best mom ever and try out this super-fun hairstyle. All of her friends will be impressed and they’ll really want to copy the zip braid.
How to Do Zipper Braid Hairstyles
You will find zipper braids a bit complicated at first, but the braiding will get easier the following time you do it again. Start with wet hair so that you have more control. Get three strands of hair in the part where you want to start the braid. Put the middle section over the left one. During the next step, you will need to get the section that is now in the middle and put it over the right one. Take the middle strand, put it over the left once again and move it under both strands taking it all the way to the right.
This is where things get interesting. Give that strand to your girl so that she holds it while you continue braiding. Get a strand of hair from the right and take it over the middle one, then under the left one and to the right. Give it to your daughter for her to hold it. Get more hair from the left and take it over the middle strand. Put it under the right strand and once again give it to the daughter to hold it. Get the first strand you gave her, put it under the one you just gave her. Include it to the middle section.
You can now get another strand from the right side, move it over the middle one, then under the left one. Give it to your daughter to hold it. Take the second strand you gave her, put it under the new one and add it to the middle part. From now on this is what you should be doing until the end. Simply repeat this from both sides.
