Colorful Braid Hairstyle Making

Color comes before braiding: hair is divided into sections and each dyed separately, so a plait can carry two or three shades through it. Braids, twists, buns and partings follow, with beads and ribbons to finish.

Dyeing by section before braiding is the clever part, because the colors only show once the hair is worked and you have to plan for that. Getting a gradient to read through a fishtail takes a couple of attempts. Detailed and more thoughtful than most hair games.
