Micronesian Girl~ step-by-step picture instructions for "Senco" (spiral) braid

[arc691]

Hi everybody!

Me and Sasani demonstrated the "Senco'' (spiral) braid for me this evening, so I could take pictures to post on the LHC for everyone who's been asking for instructions to this beautiful up-do. They are both so excited to have their pictures shared on this forum with so many others from around the world! So without further ado (no pun intended!), we present the step-by-step spiral braid:

Stage One:

First start with three little pieces of hair taken from the crown of her head:

Stage Two:

You will braid these in the lace braid fashion, gathering hair section by section in a spiral direction around your starting point:

Just one question - was her hair a little wet for this photo shoot or is it a couple of days after washing? I'm thinking I'll try this on the day before I intend to wash???

Her hair was kind of wet with coconut oil~ I imagine that would make it easier to handle and not so apt to tangle.

Way to go on trying it out yourself!
