Braid series 6: How to do a five-strand braid

The finished product

This one looks hard enough but is actually unbelievably easy as long as you have enough fingers. If not, you might manage if you're careful or you can just get someone else to do it for you.

1. Brush your hair and separate it into five approximately equal-sized sections at the back of your head, keeping each section between your fingers as is comfortable.
2. Cross the rightmost strand (I always start with right, do what seems easiest) over the second-rightmost and under the middle. Hold all of the strands tightly in this position.
3. Now cross the leftmost strand over the second-to-left and under the new middle, formerly the right strand.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, keeping the braid tight, to the end and tie off.

Enjoy!
