Brush or detangle your hair
Part your hair where you want the braid
Take a small section of hair at the top
Split the section into three equal strands
Cross the right strand over the middle strand
Cross the left strand over the new middle strand
Repeat alternating sides until you reach the ends
Hold the braid firmly as you go
Secure the end with a hair tie
Smooth flyaways if needed
Practice on smaller sections first if braiding feels difficult
