French braid using HOW TO FRENCH BRAID
French braids are a favourite for so many reasons! Not only are they really simple & quick, they make the foundation to so many pretty braided styles. So it's super helpful to have the french braid under your belt!
- To start, take a small section from the front of your hair and split into three equal parts, like you would your normal braid.
- Cross the section on the right over into the middle and do the same with the left section.
- Before repeating this process, grab some hair from the right side of your head and add this into the right section before crossing over into the middle. Do the same on the left hand side.
- Repeat this technique all the way down your hair, adding in more as you go until all hair is braided.
- Secure in place with a hair elastic and use your fingers to pull apart and loosen the braid for extra volume. This really steps up your braid game for serious french braid goals!
