Supplies

You will need all of the following items:

  • Hairbrush
  • Styling Comb or Ratail Comb (optional on which one you use)
  • Elastics

Step 1: Brush and Part

Using your hair brush be sure to brush all the tangles and knots out of the hair.

Start from the bottom of the hair when brushing. This will help get the knots out more efficiently.

You can use detangling spray to help get the knots out.

Using your styling comb (optional on which comb you use) part the hair down the middle of the head.

Clip the hair on the left or the right side of the head.

Step 2: Braid the Hair

Take a piece from the top and split the piece into three sections. First take the farthest piece to the right and cross over the middle . Then take the farthest piece on the left and cross over the middle and repeat. The only change after the first cross over on each side is taking hair and adding it in.

Step 3: Tie It Up

after finishing one side add a hair tie at the end of the braid. Repeat on the other side of the head and add a hair tie.
