Lauren Conrad Inspired – Half French Braid Wrapped Ponytail

Lauren Conrad Inspired - Half French Braid Wrapped Ponytail (1)

Toward the end of last summer and into the fall this awesome tutorial popped up on Pinterest of a modified French braid on Lauren Conrad. It reminded me of our “half French braid” that we did the opposite way, pulling hair from the bottom & wrapping the hair around the head to make a bit of a crown.

So this is a spin off of Lauren Conrad’s version that is pictured above. We’ve done this a lot and I love it because with the wrapping of the ponytail there is no need for any hair accessories – it just looks awesome as is!

Begin by parting the hair off center on the right. Part further back on the top of the head.

Part it down to the ear and secure all the rest of the hair hanging down in the back for now.

At the top on the left side of your part, start plaiting a braid.

Once you’ve plaited one round of the braid, grab some hair from the top & add it in, like you’re French braiding.

Lauren Conrad Inspired - Half French Braid Wrapped Ponytail (6)

Only add hair in from the top as you’re plaiting the braid.

Once you run out of hair to add & have reached that back part …

Stop adding hair but continue doing a regular braid down to the end of the hair. Secure temporarily with a clip.

Flip that braid up out of the way and smooth all remaining hair around to the left side of the head.

Make a low side ponytail and flip your braid back down. (I probably could have added one more section of hair into the braid and I wouldn’t of had that gap!)

Wrap the braid under your ponytail and bring it back around the top. *If you wrap it over the top it tends to make your French braided part pucker so I have more luck putting it under the ponytail.*

Lauren Conrad Inspired - Half French Braid Wrapped Ponytail (12)

Loop the end of your braid back around and under itself so it’s close to the head. I’ve done it the other way too, but this is the way I did it when I documented it all!

Lauren Conrad Inspired - Half French Braid Wrapped Ponytail (13)

Wrap it as much as want, but I just do 1 full wrap at the base of the ponytail. Secure the braid to the ponytail with a clear rubber band. Cinch the rubber band up and it’ll disappear under the braid.

Unbraid any left over braid that is hanging down into the ponytail below that clear rubber band.

This is what you’ll have from the back.

    How do you handle fly-away hair? Hers came out so smooth but my daughter’s always has wispy bits flying about! Did you use a product on the hair to get it neat like that?

    • The Mom says

      I usually start by misting their hair a bit with our water bottle. And when I’m done I just spray it with hairspray. Nothing too major but it works for us. Depending on your daughter’s hair, maybe try putting a bit of mousse or gel to help.

Let's just pretend it's a week ago and this just h Let's just pretend it's a week ago and this just happened! 😉😉 For Halloween McKayla and her friends decided to be the characters from the movie "Inside Out" and she was Joy.  She's been so busy and hardly home, so the night before we scrambled and in 5 hours we made her entire costume, dress and hair. Her dress was out of 3 t-shirts (thanks @beccabeachofficial for your fab tutorial btw) and we managed to find a blue wig but it required a bit of a haircut! 💇 yikes! It all came together fabulously in the end, right down to her blue eyebrows! I'm pretty sure "joy" is a synonym for McKayla, so it was a perfect fit!

One of my favorite weekends where we are able to listen to our living prophet and other wonderful church leaders give inspired messages about the gospel of Jesus Christ. McKayla and other girls and young women from our area have been invited to sing in the choir for the general women's session tonight. I invite you to watch any or all of the sessions on churchofjesuschrist.org... And maybe keep your eyes out for McKayla tonight in the choir at 6pm MST. She'll be on the top back row of the very far right section!
