Advertisement With this braid technique, you have the possibility of making it bigger in three directions, and not just wider. Pull the outer edges of all four sections out carefully. You will see two sections on the top that you can pull up, and, on each side, another section laying under, and that’s the one you should pull to the sides. It is always a matter of personal taste how big you want to make your top braid.

Step 6: Finish The 3D Round Braid

When you are done with the Viking mohawk braid, it is time to braid the remaining hair at the top until the end without adding in any new hair. The technique will still be the same. Before you tie off the braid with a little hair tie, pancake the braid similar to how you did the top section, until you are happy with the result.

Extra tip: I always prefer to hide the elastics by wrapping a little strand of hair around them.

Step 7: You’re Almost There!

Gather together all the remaining hair, including the four side braids and tie them into a ponytail, right under the spot where you stopped adding in hair into the 3D round braid.

Extra tip: Always have your hair ties close to you. I wear the bigger ones around my wrist and the small elastics like a ring on my fingers.

Step 8: Finish!

Take a second, strong hair tie to fix the 3D round braid over the ponytail. Now, use a topsy tail tool to hide it with a strand of hair wrapped around the bobble and you are done!
