Brush your hair to remove tangles
Lightly dampen hair if needed for easier braiding
Part your hair where you want the braid to start
Divide the hair into three equal sections
Cross the right section over the middle section
Cross the left section over the new middle section
Repeat alternating sides until you reach the ends
Hold the braid firmly as you work
Secure the end with a hair tie
Smooth flyaways with a little water or styling product
Practice on one side or in a mirror if needed
