Tired of the same summer staples when it comes to getting your
tresses off your neck? Then keep this pretty, romantic low-lacebraid
updo in mind! It will be perfect for any occasion this summer—from
casual to dressy. The best part is, this hairstyle works on all kinds of
texture and any hair just below the shoulders or longer. Follow the
steps below to achieve this gorgeous, super-wearable updo.
1. Pick up a piece of hair from the side of the head. Divide it into three parts
2. Cross the lower strand over the middle strand.

3. Then cross the upper strand over the middle strand, just like you would braid a normal three-strand braid.
4. Now the lacebraiding begins. Add hair to the upper strand every
time you cross the upper strand over the middle strand. Do not add hair
to the lower strand. This is called a lacebraid.
5. Continue to braid like this diagonally to the other side of the
head. When you reach the other side turn the braid around and start to
braid in the opposite direction. Now start to add hair from underneath
instead so every time you cross the lower strand over the middle strand
add some hair
6. Braid all the way to the other side and when there is no more hair
to add, braid a normal three strand braid in the opposite direction
with your remaining hair, then secure with a small elastic and pull on
the braid a bit for volume.

7. Take the end of the braid and place it between the two braids. If you have long hair, fold it first.
8. Secure the braid in place with bobby pins. Add any extra bobby pins where it's needed to keep the updo in place.
