How to Braid Hair (1): step-by-step guide

A basic three strand braid is the base for most other braids.

  1. Brush the hair until it is smooth and free of tangles.

  2. Divide the hair into three equal sections and hold them apart.

  3. Cross the right section over the middle section.

  4. Cross the left section over the new middle section.

  5. Keep alternating right over middle, left over middle, pulling gently as you go.

  6. Secure the end with a hair tie.
