Braid Series 2: How to do a french braid

The finished product
Braid 2 in my series is the classic French braid. It can look a bit daunting but is extremely easy to do if you practice the technique enough.
  1. Gather three small sections of hair at the top of your hairline and start braiding it back with only a couple crossovers, then stop there.
  2. Before crossing the next strand over the middle, add a small section of hair to it and smooth it out, then cross it over the center.
  3. Add another small section of hair to the next strand and cross it over the new middle, keeping the previously crossed strand tight.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, adding another small strand every time you add another section to your braid until you run out of hair.
  5. Once all of your hair has been added to the braid, simply continue braiding down and tie it off at the end.
Enjoy!
