HOW TO FRENCH BRAID STEP BY STEP

ITEMS NEEDED: Brush, 2 small hair elastic, hairspray

TIME REQUIREMENT: 10-15 minutes

SKILL LEVEL: Medium

 

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

Step 1: Brush your hair and split your hair into 2 equal sections down the back of your head. Use a hair clip or elastic to secure one side out of the way, so it’s easier to braid.

Step 2: Take a section of hair and part it into 3 equal sections. Now you have 3 strands of hair like a normal braid

Step 3: Take the top strand and cross it over and into the middle.

Step 4: Take the bottom strand and bring it over and into the middle

Step 5: Now pick up a small section of hair next to the top strand. These 2 are going to be put together

Step 6: Now cross the top strand + the hair you just picked up, over and into the middle. (You can also cross the top strand over and into the middle first. Then add a section of new hair. Both ways give the same result)

Step 7: Now repeat that on the other side. So pick up a new section of hair next to the bottom strand. These 2 are going to be put together

Step 8: Now cross the bottom strand + the hair you just picked up over and into the middle

Step 9: Repeat step 5 – 8 until there is no more hair to add in. Then braid the rest of the hair like a normal braid. Then tie of the braid with an elastic. Remember to check if the braids are the same length

Step 10: Repeat step 1-9 on the other side so you got 2 braids and then you are done
