Braid hair

shows you how to easily braid your hair..

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • rubber bands
  1. Step 1

    When learning to braid, encircle the hair at the top of the braid with an elastic band. This keeps the hair neat. To form a braid, first divide the hair into three equal strands. Wrap your fingers around the outer strands.

  2. Step 2

    Second, draw the left strand over the center strand and grasp the left strand (the new center one) between the right index and third fingers. Grasp the old center strand with the left hand and pull it aside.

  3. Step 3

    Third, bring the right strand over the center strand, repeating the motions but with the opposite hands and fingers (the right strand becomes the new center one.) Repeat the second and third steps until the braid is as long as you want it. Wind an elastic band around the end of the braid to hold it.

Tips & Warnings
  • you can wet your hair before braiding and wait for a while and take it out to make waves in your hair.
