Make a horseshoe shaped parting from recession to recession, just below the crown, then take a diagonal forward section at the ear.
2
Comb the section in front of the ear to the center back and secure with a bobby pin.
3
Back brush the top section to build the foundation.
4
While starting the crest of the roll use abba Firm Finish Hair Spray to provide hold to the structure and the shape.
5
Carefully create a half roll in the front working into a complete roll at the crown.
6
While securing the section with your left hand start making a two strand braid by picking up a section of hair and incorporating it into the center.
7
Continue working from the right to the left adding each section in the same fashion as a French braid but with only two strands.
8
Past the nape of the neck the braid becomes a fishtail braid.

Once the braid is complete, tuck it under in the nape area and secure with bobby pins.

The finished shape imposes a strong silhouette yet retains softness and elegance.
