Using your fingers, divide the portion of hair into three even sections. You should have one piece from the middle, which will be referred to as piece A, one piece from the left side of your head, which will be referred to as piece B, and one from the right, which will be referred to as piece C. Keep hold of all three sections at all times during braiding.
