Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Hairbands

Instructions

1. Use a comb to part your hair from the top of one ear to the top of the other. Comb the hair that is in front of the part over your face, and put the hair that is behind the part in a ponytail at the back of your head.

2. Tilt your head so that your right ear is facing the ceiling. Comb the hair that is in front of the part toward the other ear.

3. Separate a small section of hair next to the right ear and begin braiding. Move the strand on the right to the middle, and then move the strand that is on the left to the middle.

4. French braid the hair until you reach the other ear. To do this, grab a small piece of hair from the right side and move it to the middle with the right strand. Do the same on the left side. Repeat until you reach the other ear.

5. Continue braiding until you reach the end of the hair. Secure it with a hairband.

6. Release the hair in the back from the ponytail, and style as you wish.
