Accidental Christmas Tree. "This unique upstyle was done using a string braid at the top, following into a 4 strand braid using a ribbon on the left and one on the right. Finished with a red and white Chinese ladder ribbon braid. Used @sexyhair #bigsexyhair #powderplaylite to expand my 4 strand braids. When I stepped away from it, it looked like a Christmas tree. So I went with it. Then I decorated it with @pinkpewter."
