Braiding Fishbone Hairstyles: The Spine

Video Transcript

"OK, now that we've got these combed out, what we're going to do is we're going to unbraid it just a little bit to get it back to where it ended on the head and what we're going to do, is we're going to bring this hair together and split it up into three parts just the way that we would start any other braid. So go ahead and split that up. That can be one, this can be another, and there we have our three. But try to make sure you keep the sizes proportionate, otherwise it will be lumpy on one side, the lengths won't be even and it will be really hard to continue. We're going to go ahead and start this. We'll go a couple of times, it's going to float just a little bit until we get to the next one. Hold that down really well, and with one hand just kind of come and pull these out and go up here and pull these out right until it's right where the head is, and just grab a little bit at a time. Don't grab the entire braid. Just grab one chunk of it. And just one more chunk of it. And go under. Now I'd say it's safe to grab the rest, because that's really short and stretching, and we'll grab the rest of this braid and we'll go back and we will continue this way until we get to the end. So you have a nice beginning braid to go back. So you have the ribs and the spine."
