The infinity braid is an absolutely beautiful braid, that just keeps on going! It can look a bit difficult, but the pattern of the braid is so easy and simple! All you have to do is to wrap the hair around in a figure 8 shape, and that will give you the intricate details.

If you want lots and lots of detail, then take tiny sections when adding in hair, but it can be easier and quicker to do if you grab some bigger sections, but give both a try and let me know what you prefer!
