Divide the hair into three equal sections
Hold one section in each hand and keep the middle section centered
Cross the right section over the middle section
Cross the left section over the new middle section
Repeat alternating right and left sections over the middle
Keep the braid tight and even as you work
Continue braiding until you reach the end of the hair
Secure the end with a hair tie or elastic
