My Model For French Braid!
With all the crazy that’s happened in 2020, I must say, I’ve been loving the fact that Brooklyn and Bailey have been home more often (plus it means I have more heads of hair walking around to use for hair tutorials)!
Items Needed: Brush, hair elastics, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
French Braid
- Separate three sections of hair starting from your hairline.
- Take the middle piece and move it under the left piece of hair. The original middle piece is now the left piece.
- Taking the NEW middle piece, now cross under the right section of hair.
- Scoop more hair from the left side of the head and combine into the left section of hair.
- Continue to scoop more hair from the sides of the head and combine the hair into the sections of the braid as you move down the head. The middle section always goes under the side sections.
- As you get to the last of the hair once you’ve reached the neck, continue a normal, 3 strand braid down the length of the hair.
- Tweak and fluff the braid where necessary, secure fly-aways or wispies with hairspray if desired.
