"Messy braid lovers, have I got a style for you (courtesy of Teen Wolf&amp;#x27;s Crystal Reed). It&amp;#x27;s a braid that starts down the side of her head and snacks around to the other shoulder. Nothing crazy there. But when you really look at the braid, there&amp;#x27;s a lot more to the story. I can&amp;#x27;t tell for 100 percent sure if this is a multi-strand braid (meaning a braid that&amp;#x27;s done with 4 or more sections instead of the usual 3) or 3 separate braids that have been braided together, but I do know that that jumbled mass of plaiting is very mermaid-y. And you know what&amp;#x27;s fun to wear in summer? Mermaid-y hair. Therefore I&amp;#x27;m willing to bet a few of you will be into this idea. If you&amp;#x27;re going to recreate it, first, I should point out that there seems to be a hair tie a few inches up from the bottom, but I&amp;#x27;m not sure what that&amp;#x27;s about so I&amp;#x27;d probably skip it. Now that that&amp;#x27;s out of the way, if you want to try this multi-strand-style, head over to Youtube and check out these how-to videos. If you&amp;#x27;re more of a three-braids, braided-together girl, just braid start your hair in a French braid on one side of your head and when you hit the rest of your hair on the other side, separate it into three sections (you&amp;#x27;ll need hairclips handy to hold your hair while you work). Braid each section and secure with hair elastics. And then braid those three together and tie the whole thing off. Who&amp;#x27;s in? Looking for more braid ideas? We&amp;#x27;ve got a whole section of &amp;#x27;em! Photos: WireImage"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
