I love the look of this one and my daughter said it looked like the braid was in jail - hence the name. :)
First you'll want to part off one inch all the way along the bang line. Now divide that inch strip into 7 equal squares. (Be sure that one of your squares is in the very center.) Tie each square back into a small elastic and when all of them are done, sweep them forward and out of your way. Now divide out 1 1/2 inch strip of hair right along side your first inch of hair so that they are parallel. Set the new section aside with the 7 little ponies and pull everything else back into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic.
Now go back to that 1 1/2 inch section and begin at one ear and create a French Braid all the way to the other ear. Finish plating that braid all the way to the end of the hair.
Now pull that braid back into the ponytail and secure with a second elastic.
Go ahead and bring those front 7 small ponies over the French Braid and pull them back into the ponytail as well. This gives you the "jail bars" look. :)
We finished off her ponytail by doing an Uneven Braid but each time I plated the thick strand, I would pull at it a little bit to make it stick out farther. This gave it just a bit more of a defined look.
And there you have your Jail Bird Braid.
