I'm forever on the search for new styles to try out on my hair. My favorites tend to be techniques that are fast and easy, but have a really strong style. Enter the knot braid. 
Step 1: Bring all your hair to one side of your head and grab a section from the back. Divide it into two pieces. Step 2: Wrap the pieces around the outside of the hair and tie in a knot. Step 3-4: After the knot is tied, take the two pieces behind the larger section of hair and criss-cross them. Add a small section to each piece so they remain long and wrap and tie. Step 5: Continue knotting and bringing the pieces to the back, adding a small section of hair to both pieces each time. Step 6: Once you've reached the end, tie off with a hair elastic and gently tug on the knots to create a fuller braid. 
I was pleased at how quickly I got the hang of this braid and I love how involved this style looks! It just adds a little extra fancy! xo. Katie

Love!! And I love the tatoo you have in the arm.
Will have to pass along to my little sister. She’s always looking for new ways to braid her hair. She hounded me for weeks until I downloaded a fishtail braid guide.
Really cute.
