The braid style I used was one posted quite a while back called Double-French Braids w/ Messy Flips, which also uses the Zig-Zag part. Please do review the links above and then watch the following video tutorial:
French Braid Video #1

I hope this clip helps! The "A, B, & C" stranding (with the B strand always in the middle, and that you add hair to strands A & C as you braid down) is the key to successful French Braiding. As mentioned in the video, it really takes practice. This French Braid style is a very cute hairstyle that holds well and makes for an equally cute Second-Day 'Do with a few accessories!
Good luck, and Happy Braiding!

Finally! A french braid tutorial that makes sense! I have tried many and am thrilled to find one that I can actually copy! Made 2 french braids on DD#1 yesterday and was so proud of how they turned out! THANK YOU!!
You are wonderful! I can french braid my own hair, no problem, but it takes me forever to do someone elses because I just can't seem to figure out how to hold everything, just like you said. I'm clumsy at it. But I watched this a couple times and saw how you hold your hands and I think it's really going to help. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I may finally be able to do it. I was doing it a totally different way. Thanks for all of your inspiration. Laura M

I did it I did it I did it thanks to you. I could never do it before but now I can even do myself.
Thank you for this as I can not fix my girls hair. I should have had boys!
I think those braids will look more beautiful if you add some little hair bows on it.
Anyways, thanks for the video tutorial. Actually, I have a hard time doing this French braid. But now, I think I can finally able to make it. =D
I just found your website today. I have been "experimenting" on my poor daughter's hair, trying in vain to get a french braid to work. FINALLY!!! Your video makes complete sense and was so easy to follow. Thank YOU!!!
