"Now we have our hair parted we?re going to go ahead and get started on our first upper level braid. Now of course run your fingers through and make sure it?s not tangled and then all braids start the same. Get your three sections and go under and with the out braids I like to a couple of passes before I start to add hair. I find it helps me to get a better grip and get a better set going so I could get a better hold and keep my braid nice and tight and centered. So just keep grabbing and adding hair and just be really aware of where other braids are once you get to the top cause you don't want to accidentally grab with a nail this braids. You can pull it you can loosen it and you can hurt somebody. Just be really careful with your comb placement and your finger placement as you go along. Now with the top you could have done a lot of things with this braid but I just wanted to keep this very outside one going straight back. To give it a nice clean look and were going to have a little bit of fun on the top. So just keep going and when you get to the bottom again just be very aware of where your other braids are. I am going to go ahead and add all of this hair into this braid and we?re going to go ahead and braid all the way down."
