- Take the top piece and cross over to the middle only this time pick up a new piece of hair and add before crossing over to the middle.
- Take the bottom piece and cross over to the middle. You are not adding new hair to the bottom piece of hair, only the top. This technique is what makes this a lace braid.
- Continue braiding until you reach the back your head and then continue a regular three strand all the way down your hair.
- Go back and pancake your braid by pulling on the edges to add volume. Temporarily, secure your braid with a bobby pin or small elastic.
- Repeat steps 1-6 on the other side of your head.
- Now secure both of your braids at the back of the head with a small elastic.
- Release your temporary pin or elastic.
- Next, pick up a section of hair on each side of your braid. Bring them up and secure with a small elastic on top of your braid.
