Let’s talk hair! My oldest daughter doesn’t like getting her hair done and would be fine wearing it in a ponytail every single day. I’m always trying to find new ways to add some variation to the same old ponytail. I have 4 kids under age 8 so most days it has to be something that’s pretty quick and easy to do. This snake braid is just that! I promise it looks way more complicated than it really is!
Snake Braid Hair Tutorial
- Section off the part of hair you’ll use for the snake braid. Use a comb for a clean section.
- Braid a normal 3 strand braid all the way to the ends.
- While holding on to the middle strand, begin pushing the other two strands up being sure to not let the braid unravel.
- Use a small elastic to hold the snake braid in place.
Finally, you can secure the braid end with the rest of the hair in a side ponytail, add a bow, and you’re done! The end result is a really fancy looking braid that is honestly so simple! It’s our perfect go-to hairstyle when we are in a rush!
What’s your favorite, easy hairstyle to do?

That is absolutely adorable! I've always loved doing fun stuff like that with my own hair since I was a little girl. The best thing about having long hair is all the wonderful things you can do with it!

Oh my goodness, I had no idea those were so easy to do. I love braiding my daughters hair, but she gets so bored with a normal brain. This would be so much fun for her...

That looks so cute! I always loved doing my daughters hair creative ways like this when she was little. I still do it to myself from time to time. LOL

I have always done French braid with my daughter's hair. I do love this snake braid and can't wait to try it out on my daughter. I hope she'll like it!
