30 Hairdos: Day 29- "Upside-down French Braid"

This is a good "fancy" do for church, a wedding, a Fancy Nancy party, etc.  And as a bonus its no harder than a basic French braid!  Its the same thing, just upside down.  I find that its easiest to braid upside down if I am sitting in a chair and I have Savannah kneel down in front of me with her face laying on my knees.  Then just start at the nape of her neck and braid upwards until you reach the crown of her  head.  Put an elastic around the braid, then pull the front of the hair back to join it with the elastic that you already have.  You'll want to do some sort of bun so that the extra hair doesn't hang down and cover your braid.  I did a messy bun because its the kind I'm fastest at but you could do a tight "ballerina" bun, a braided bun, a "monkey-ear" bun or whatever you want!
