Step 1: Brush out your hair to get rid of any tangles before starting your braid.

Step 2: Start by taking a section on the top of your head in the center. Make sure it isn’t too thin or too thick. Divide it into 3 and cross the right section over the middle and then the left of the middle, like in a regular plait.

Step 3: Pick up a thin section of hair from the right side and add it to the right section before crossing it over to the middle. Then, add a thin slice of hair to the left section and cross it over to the middle.

Step 4: To French braid, you have to basically add a new piece of hair to each section before it crossing it over to the middle. Continue doing this down to nape of your neck (or till you have no more hair left to add). Finish off with a basic braid/ plait down the rest of your hair and secure at the ends.
