Leaving front pieces out, create an imperfect side part in the section directly behind {if you have side-swept bangs, part it on the opposite side} and braid hair to the end -but on an angle so it swoops around easier & lays nicely. Secure braid using a tiny jaw clip or an elastic & let hang for now. Repeat the same steps but on the opposite side for the next braid. Once both braids are complete {you can add a third as well or do your entire head!} loosely pull hair & braids back and wrap it into a messy bun. For a more casual “do” like this one, I used clear jaw clips to secure my bun in place but if it were for an event or if I were going somewhere fancy I would have used bobby pins and hair pins so they would be hidden. {add some fresh or faux flowers to the braids or better yet, baby’s breath {like in the 80’s LOL} for an uber hippie chic look}
You don’t want it to be too tight so using your fingers, pull a bit of the braids apart and mess it up a bit. Hairspray to finish. If need be, add texture to your hair prior by curling it with a curling iron and/or hair spraying it.
* Bed Head MAXXED-OUT Hairspray
, CLEAR Hair Elastics

男人有了外遇，但是他不想離婚
在外遇情人面前，他可以享受著年輕戀愛般的美好
在回歸家庭時刻，他可以享受著老婆對他無微不至的照顧
在同事朋友面前，他可以享受著眾人對他的忌妒與羨慕
男人有了外遇，但是他不想離婚，他只想自私的擁有一切

absolutely lovely!

It looks lovely, but I’m not sure the name is the best as there actually is a way of braiding that is called rope braid. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Rope-Braid
