Brush hair to remove tangles
Part hair where you want the braid to start
Take a small section near the front
Divide it into three strands
Begin a regular braid by crossing the top strand over the middle
Cross the bottom strand over the new middle
Drop the front strand that is now at the bottom
Pick up a small new section of hair from above
Add the new section into the braid in place of the dropped strand
Cross the top strand over the middle again
Cross the bottom strand over the middle again
Drop the front strand at the bottom each time
Continue adding new hair from above and dropping the bottom strand
Braid along the side of the head
Secure the braid with a small elastic or bobby pins
Repeat on the other side if desired
