"I just barely showed you guys how to section off to do two French braids. Get this hair out of the way. So I just did a cute little ponytail. That's another style for another time.

Brush make sure that hair is ready to go through and, because you don't want it all scraggly when you're starting, so you want to look nice and brushed through. Remember, that first part, we're going to start with like a little triangle up here. Alright. Get your three sections and you're just going to start crossing over. It's not just a normal little braid, it's a French braid. And so, what do we do? We add hair each time we cross over."
