"OK, we have got the first half of our top braid parted and you can really see where its going to be. This little rectangle right here and this is what wee going to use as our guide to make our second half of the part. So take your comb and don't stick it in to this braid you really don't want to grab that but just kind of float it over and then grab the hair and try to part it. Keep the head angled to where you can really kind of zoom yourself out to see where this is going to be and then just gradually grab a little bit more hair and be careful not to get the braids underneath or your comb will get stuck. There we go and then just comb it out to the side so you can see what your doing and now that this line is where I want it. I am going to go ahead and get my bottom half to where it is. I have my starting point and I am just going to keep going make sure that I am the right angle and don't let the curve of the head confuse you and just keep going to the side. And there we go we have our first part for the bottom half of our crisscross braid."
