Moving along from the French braid below, you an also create a double French braid. The variations are endless. I opted to let the two tails join into one braided tail, but you can let the tails end in one regular pony tail, two regular pony tails, or two braids as well. It is all a matter of preference.
The way this is done is basically the same as with the single French braid, just that you are doing it twice. You start off with a center part on your head all the way down to the nape, and the easiest way to go about it is to put the side that you are not working on in a side pony tail to keep the hair out of the way as you are working on the other side.
Be careful not to make the braid end up too high, it looks nicer when it ends up closer to the ears than too high so you can see them from the side. It is tricky to get them in the center, but, as always, practice makes perfect.
Here is a video on how to create a regular French braid, the whole proceedings are basically the same. To make them end up together in one braid simply braid on till a little past the nape, tie it off and do the other side. Then when you get a little past the nape with that one, take the tie out, join the two tails, and braid on as one.
Here is what it looks like on me from the back (note that this is a little messy, but is WAS only my second attempt at doing this style):
And from the sides:
Good luck!
