...One of my favorite Edwardian styles that is so easy and beautiful! can do it on myself, so I am confident that others will be able to easily as well. My model is my 8 year old sister, Anna. She just loves buns and braids, and allows me to pull and tug on her hair to my heart’s content!

1. Start with a ponytail that is a little loose. Using a long-tailed comb, make a part starting at the crown of your head and running all the way down to the nape of your neck. Push your thumbs up from the nape of your neck into the split in your hair. Grab the ponytail with your thumbs and bring it down. This forms a basic flip. Next divide the flip into three equal parts and braid each one. Use one elastic band to secure all three braids together as close to the ends as you can get. Gibson Braids, step 1

3. Pin in place, catching the elastic band with one of the pins. Attach a pretty barrette or flowers just above the flip. Gibson braids with barrette Gibson braids final
