How to Braid Hair
- Comb your hair out really well. Make sure there are no tangles or kinks. If braiding small sections of your hair, use hair clips to hold your hair in place.
- Separate your hair into three different sections. You want to make sure each section is the same thickness. Hold the left part of the hair between the index and third finger. Hold the right parts of the hair between the index and thumb finger on that hand. The middle part of the hair should hang loosely.
- Cross the left section over the middle section of the hair. Make sure you hold it in the left hand after doing say. The left part of the hair will now be the middle section. Hold the middle section in the center by holding it firmly with your thumb.
- Move the right section of the hair over the middle part then hold it tightly. Repeat the process such as you did with the left section of the hair.
- Continue doing this throughout the full length of your hair. When you get to the end apply a rubber band or barrette to hold the end, this will keep the braid from unraveling. This braiding can be done for big braids or small braids. For smaller braids use small sections of even hair.
