by @mirandahedman

Keep in mind that this Viking-inspired hairstyle won’t come out super perfect the first time. Yet, the result you can get with the practice is definitely worth your all the efforts. Try it out to master it!

  1. Separate off the top layer of your hair and pin it away.
  2. Split your hair on the sides into two horizontal sections and pin the top section away.
  3. Working with the lower section, create a rope braid, adding new pieces of hair to both top and lower sections.
  4. Once your rope braid reaches the area that is about 2 inches from your ear, put the strands together, split them into three, and continue braiding them as a regular braid.
  5. Take the top section and repeat the same steps with it.
  6. When the second three-strand braid is ready, join the outer two strands together over the middle and pull the braids up to create a snake braid.
  7. Once the snake braid is done, continue braiding it as a three-strand braid.
  8. Repeat the same steps with the hair on the others side of your head.
  9. Take the two side braids on the other side and twist them together like a rope braid.
  10. Now, it’s time to work with the last, top layer. Start doing a regular braid, moving to the opposite side.
  11. While braiding, make a half French braid, grabbing hair from the front and adding it to the outer strand that is close to the front.
  12. When you get to the side of your head and make sure that there’s no hair left close to the front, add some pieces to the outer strand that faces away.
  13. Complete the braid like a regular three-strand.
  14. Now, join the top snake braid and the three-strand braid together. Just tie them with a thick thread.
