just one braid

[paintedsun22]

I was taught to wear my hair in one braid straight down the back, which is fine, but I'm not sure how I should work the whole hairtie wrap thing.

right now, I have a barette that holds my plumes, a side barette that holds my floppy macaw feathers, and leather fringe at the end of my braid with a rosette. but somehow, my braid bothers me. I feel like I'm missing something. any ideas?

any hair style is fine with dancing jingle...ive even seen some dancers wear a bun...braid tends to be more practical because it stays in place...with a bun you might be playing flopsy mopsy and trying to redoo your hair...

the more common is to have 1 + plumes in hair for the back with a xlarge barrette holding it and then just leaving it as that for 1 braid...for 2 braid 2 small side barrettes and then one x-large big one in the back and ribbon wrapped around the braids where it splits off and then the rosettes attached.

All it is ...is weaving from back to front sort of basically in lamens terms strand a over strand b ...i dunno how to describe it i just do it..

macaw feathers used? i never seen macaws as side feathers but it would give more color...

I doesn't sound like your missing anything. If your braid bothers you, I've seen some dancers fold their braid in half and put a barrette over it to hold it up.

As far as side feathers go, I've seen all kinds of feathers and all colors used.

Yeah, I would put it in 2 braids, but I was taught just to have one down the back.
Should I wrap it like I would if I had 2 braids w/ a rosette and ribbon fringe or what?

well you can have one braid that hangs off to the side i call it a side braid those always look pretty...but naw dont wrap it with anything if you only have one braid..you can always make up for the lackness by having side barettes its more like experiment and see what looks good

One Braid To Tha Side Is Dope..all I Can Picture Is Denise Onestar With Her Beaded Headband...lol..she Is A Perfect Example Of One Braid To The Side N That's Awesome They Way She Does It Because Her Hair Is Thick N Beautiful...lol

Depending on how long your hair is you may not even want to wrap your braids. My cousin's hair goes to her knees, so when braided they look beautiful without wraps, she simply ties on her beaded hair ties to the bottom and leaves it that way.
