How to Create a Diamond Infinity Braid (ft Brooklyn from BrooklynAndBailey)

Looking for cute summer hairstyles?? Today we'll show you how to create the Diamond Infinity Braid on Brooklyn’s beautiful hair (from BrooklynAndBailey)! Where would you wear this hairstyle??
Check out the original hairstyle that inspired me HERE:
This is a great look for the #summer because it pulls back your #hair out of your face, and still looks absolutely STUNNING in the back! I’m obsessed with how cute this braid is, in fact, it has to be one of my favorite #braids / combo #hairstyles, and I can’t believe how easy it is to create! Can you name a friend below who you would try this on??

Instructions:
Step 1: Pick up a section of hair right in the center of the hair, about one inch thick.
Step 2: Pull one small section of hair to the outside, and split the rest of the center section into 2 sections
Step 3: Take the smaller, outside piece of hair and go under the middle section, and over the outside piece (creating a figure 8)
Step 4: Continue this same motion, adding in more hair on the side pieces for each new stitch.
Step 5: When you reach the level around the top of the ear, create a stitch without adding in any new hair from the sides (to really give the hair a nice, tight grip and hold)
Step 6: As you continue working down the head, begin to remove hair from each side section as you continue the same stitching, figure 8 pattern down the hair (making it more narrow to achieve the diamond shape.
Step 7: To hide the elastic, either topsy tail some hair above the elastic, or wrap a little bit of hair around the elastic to make it look a little more polished.
Step 8: Brush the hair to smooth it out, and hide any stray pieces of hair that are popping out with bobby pins.
Step 9: Pull the top of the hair a little to create a looser, more casual look.
