Brush hair to remove tangles
Divide hair into two equal sections
Hold one section in each hand
Take a small strand from the outer edge of the left section
Cross that strand over and add it to the right section
Take a small strand from the outer edge of the right section

Repeat alternating sides until you reach the ends

Gently pull the braid apart for a fuller look if desired
