"Ok, now we're going to do this top one. Go ahead and take our rubber band off that we used to hold it out of our way. Just go ahead and put this to the side. Now we're going to start out here because remember we're braiding towards the middle spine. I'm just grabbing a very small amount of hair and go under, go under, all braids start the same. Grab a small piece and go under, grab another small piece and go under. Make sure you hold the hair really tight to keep it lined up and to keep it smooth and flat. This is one of the cleanest looking styles and so it's really important to pay attention to the detail and the alignment of your braid. Just keep going under and you'll see, you'll want to pay attention to make sure it stays in the middle of the parted hair. Just keep grabbing that hair and going under. Make sure you keep this hair separated. I seem to have lost my comb. Keep that separate. You don't want this in here. lt's very important, this is a very detailed style. Just keep this out here, go under and go under and we're almost toward the edge. Just keep grabbing that hair and working it towards the middle. We've just got one little piece. I'm just going to go and add all of that in there. And braid it loose so I don't lose my place. We're going to rubber band it and bend it over so it does not get in our way."
