If you like the Waterfall Braid hairstyle, you will also like this Cage Braid. It is super easy to do, and uses the basic French Braiding technique with a small twist to the stranding.
When you are done with the braid, you simply grab the center part of the braid about two inches down and pull it up on top of the ponytail and the whole braid literally "pops" out into this super cute 3D braid!
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHCageBraid
It is called a cage braid because the braid effect looks like a ribcage. This would be a perfect Halloween hairstyle with heart bobby pin stuck in the right side of the cage... or a fun Christmas hairstyle because the braid could be decorated as a tree!
Enjoy!
-Hey everyone., I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles. This morning, we're going to film a braid, that's really different, but fun, and I think you're going to like it a lot. And I'm going to call it the Cage Braid.. Also for those of you that don't know, I'm really utilizing my Twitter account lately., So you can tweet me anytime, you want. @ CuteGirlHair is my account. And I'm finding that it's a really great way for me to stay in contact with you or answer your questions Or anything like that. So feel free to tweet me @ CuteGirlHair, anytime. OK., So for this hairstyle I started by just pulling it up into a ponytail. And her hair is damp.. It'S not wet wet, but it's not dry either. And I'm just going to take a comb and grab a little chunk of hair at the top of the ponytail. Like so. And divide that into three sections. And start just your regular braid. Tip back a little bit For me thanks., So this is where it gets a little different. You're just going to pick up a little chunk from the side and add it in sort of like you would on a French braid. And go ahead and braid it in. And then grab a chunk From this side and add it in., So what the trick is remember that we're always pulling the stranding down we're not pulling it over. Like a normal French braid you'd grab this piece and you'd pull it tight, over. We're not going to do that. And you'll see As we get farther down the ponytail, how that affects. So pull it down into the braid. Grab little chunk down into the braid. And now because we're taking little chunks. This does take a little bit longer to do just like the fish tailing does., So grab a chunk.. Add it in. Pulling it down.. Now you can see that our drops are getting deeper and deeper. The farther we go down the ponytail. And that's exactly what we want. So just keep going. All the way.. So while I'm doing this I'll just mention that it's sort of the beginning of the new year and everyone's always making resolutions of course. So you'll have to leave me a comment and tell me what your New Year's resolution is this year to get better at. Oops Sorry. So just keep adding hair in.. I know it looks really funny right now, but trust me. In the end. It'S so amazing. And add it in.. So we've had a whole bunch of birthdays recently, which is always a busy time of year for us.. They'Re are all over now.. Ok, I'm kind of getting to the end of my hair, both in the ponytail and hair back here., And when you get all done with the hair, then just go ahead and finish off the regular braid and secure it with an elastic. OK.. Now this is where the magic comes., So you take --, I'm going to grab maybe an inch down the ponytail and pull up. And look at what happens. Vrup. Do you see that It almost looks like a little rib cage, which is why I'm calling it the Cage Braid. I'm going to just take that loop and tuck it back on top of her head just over the ponytail holder, which also helps hide the ponytail holder. And I'm just going to bobby pin that into place. OK., And so when you've got that secured --. Now I don't love this little endy thing, so I also take that tuck it up into her hair. And you can see -- I'll try to pull that out of the way. So you can see what I'm doing. Just kind of pin it flat against her head. OK. And there you have it. And then just spray a little hair spray as needed., And I just love the way that these loopies hang out and stick out and almost sort Of look like a rib cage., But it's really fun.. I think it's so different, looking but so easy.. So there you have it., You want to say goodbye. -Bye

Sondra Jergons: I can't believe how easy this was to do! I never had long hair, my girls really didn't have much hair until they were in their teens. So I never got into the braiding thing. Now the girls are in their 20's and they have lots of hair as do I. I always knew how to do French and Dutch braids but nothing special. Thanks to you and a few others here on youtube, I have become somewhat of a braiding expert in a matter of 2 days lol. thanks for giving me something to do with my hair!

Thanks for the tutorial I tried it on my sister and it looked great! Thanks.
