going to show you a hairstyle that we're calling upward lace

Now this one's great because with it being the holiday

season, it's a fantastic one to wear to your holiday

For this hairstyle you can have short hair, long hair,

wet hair, dry hair, curly hair, or straight hair.

We've opted today to just run a straightener over her hair

and I've parted it just slightly off to one side.

here and just pick up a section of hair that's

going to become our first little section of braid.

Now when you're normally doing a lace braid,

you know that you only bring hair in on one side,

So you're pulling the strands in a downward motion

And in this braid we're going to reverse that.

We're actually going to be taking the strands

from the bottom part of the hair and pulling them upward

into the braid, which is why we're calling it an upward lace

So you're going to take this, divide it into three pieces,

and just go ahead and do one very typical section of braid.

We're not going to drop any pieces like a waterfall,

and we're going to just move this hair over a little.

and we're going to grab just a little section of hair.

Do you see how you can see the hair actually pulling back

and this is still kind of laying over the top?

That's exactly what you want as you pull the hair.

You want to see that little section of hair going back

going to just move some hair over because I kind of want

to reach underneath and pick up a little bit of hair.

And again, I'm looking for that pulled back motion in the hair

and we're just going to continue to do this

And again, we're not adding any hair in on that top side.

and push forward a little bit and then scoop out

going to go ahead and just do a couple of stitches

of a normal braid because I'm going to go back and do it

on the other side and meet them in the middle.

But another great option that we have done

and then when you get to this side, just kind of bobby

pin the end down underneath so you have this stranding all

So now we're going to repeat the exact same process

When you get to where you have both the braids

finished you're just going to pull them together and use

an elastic to hook them up and secure them.

I could have continued the braids all the way down

At this point you could turn this part of the hair

into another braid and make it a cute flower on the back

or you can just brush it out like we're going to today

and use a cute bow for the accent-- lots and lots

And it really almost looks like a waterfall braid.

If you guys follow our family on Instagram at Cute Girls

went to Utah to participate in setting a Guinness

Book of World Records, the largest nativity video.

Now when we went over there, we took the whole family

in this amazing Christmas video, and it's

and really sharing the gift of Christmas with other people.

It's right here or in the description box below.

We had an angel and some shepherds and a lamb
