Hair Braiding: Out French Braids

Video Transcript

"What i am getting ready to show you on this half of the hair is how to do an out French-braid. And whenever you are doing straighter hair like this that hangs, you want to add something to it to add some sort of weight to keep it from just sliding through your fingers like that. So what I am going to do this time is add an oil. A Jojoba oil and grape seed oil and in the winter time, olive oil are great for the hair. And I know that some may think that olive oil would just make at sliding through your fingers, but it really doesn't. It just adds a consistency to the hair. Go ahead and drop some in there like that, rub it in the scalp, because you are getting ready to pull on these roots. When you do an out-style braid, it is very important to keep it tight. It doesn't really look very nice when it is done loose like and in-braid does. So that now we have our oil in our hair, you will want to run a comb through it really quickly. Go ahead and grab a section and just like any other braid, you want to split it up into three sections. And just like the out-hanging braid, instead of going over, we are going to go under. For these first three, you are going to, I am going to do it a few times just to get something started. You can see where the braid is. And just like with the in-French braid, you are going to add hair to this outside piece and run it under the middle. You are going to add hair to the outside piece and run it under the middle and you are going to continue to do this process all the way down the head."
