In French vs. Out French Braids

Video Transcript

"Ok, what we have here are two completed French braids. This one being the in and you can see the hair strands being added inward toward the hair and of course in the loose braid. All the hair strands going in and on this side we have an out braid and you will see the hair looping outwards all the way down it to the loose braid. Where you see the pieces coming out and you will notice on the in French braid this is pretty loose. The braid is flat into the hair because we were pulling it inside. Where on the outside the braid actually sticks out and above the head. This is what is most common in stylized braiding because of this effect and also because braiding out is a little bit easier on the hands then it is with the in braiding because to get this to cross over you really have to use your hands to cross it over. Where as with this you can really just use your fingers and your wrists and work it down that way. But this is the difference this is great for casual two piece braiding. This also works for this type of style but this is what you really want to use whenever you?re doing some type of stylized braiding to the scalp."
