"With the very top of our head, the unique design we are going to do is the crisscross. Now when it comes to crisscross braiding, you want to plan ahead what you are going to accomplish. So first, I am going to do what is going to go underneath and I am going to make sure it goes at a descent angle. So at the top of the head, I am going to go from the edge of the hairline. Oops, and be careful of your braids that are underneath there. You really don't want to mess up what you have already done. And just kind of try to just do a straight line going back and just keep parting and separating and when you get to the bottom, be very sure you don't run that comb all the way into those underneath braids. Just be very aware of your comb placement. We are going to keep, keep running this at an angle. And I would like it to meet right there at that part. So I am going to go back-track, but just a little bit to get it to line up with this part. One strand of hair and there we go. We have got our part, our first part for our crisscross braid."
