French Braid with Ribbon
During the 16th to 17th century, braiding hair with ribbon had become common. The plait was one of the Elizabethan hairstyle and it was created for the purpose of hygiene and also with the benefits of appearance. During the Elizabethans era, it became popular for pearls, jewels, ribbon and lines of lace to be set into the plaits. The lace would be plaited through the hair, wrapped and tied together to hold the hair into a bun shape (this helped the hair to be easily covered by a Caul or other types of hats).

Equipment Used:

- Hair bands
- Ribbon
- Hair clips and pin

| I have done French braid from each side of the hair and after that, I have used hair clips to secure the end bits of the French braid into the hair. |

| Then, I have put the ribbon into the French braid by using a hair pin |
