Introduction: French Braid Simple & Easy

Wearing your hair, the same way everyday can become boring. Whether you’re going to work, school, or having a night out; french braids are a simple and quick look. I've been doing hair for years, and I really enjoy it, but it does take practice to master it like any skill. This look just has five simple steps.

Step 1: Intro to French Braids

Step 2: Sectioning

First grab a section of hair from the front of the head, and split it into three sections.

Step 3: Crossing Sections

Then take the farthest right section and cross it over the middle section. Afterwards take the farthest left section and cross it over the middle section. This completes the first stitch in the braid.

Step 4: Adding in Hair

Grab a section of hair from the scalp, by either using a finger or a comb to scoop up the hair. After grabbing the section of hair add it to farthest right section of hair. Repeat this on the other side of the head; by grabbing hair from the scalp and adding that to the farthest left section of hair. Make sure to keep the sections smooth as you go along.

Step 5: Continuing On

Continue adding and crossing the sections of hair until reaching the bottom of the head; where no more hair can be added into the braid. Now at the bottom keep crossing the sections over each other like a normal braid.

Step 6: The End

Finally secure the braid with a hair tie or elastic, and the braid is complete.
