With a little training you can become an ace at creating braids on yourself and others.
Things You'll Need
Wide- tooth comb
Fine- tooth comb
Ponytail holder
Spray bottle with water
Styling cream (for fine, fly- away hair)
Finishing spray
Make sure that hair is as flat as possible and entirely free of even the smallest derange as they will cause problems. Comb it with wide- tooth comb until comb moves freely through hair. Divide hair into smaller sections and comb through with a fine- tooth comb. Be sure to detach any rings and bracelets as they might get caught in the hair.
The Basic English Braid is the most common and quick and easiest braid to do, even on yourself.
Steps:
1.Branch all hair into three equal sections and comb areas uniform.
2.Cross the right hand segment over the middle areas. The original right hand is now the middle segment.
3.Pull the sections away from each other and stiffen the plait.
4.Cross the left hand sections over the middle areas. The original left hand segment is now the middle sections.
5.Fasten the plait again.
6.Continue the process rotating right and left segments over the middle segment, tightening each plait as you make it.
7.Stable the end of the braid with a hair- safe ponytail holder.
Once youve excel in the basic braid, try braiding your hair in three sections along the hairline at the nape of your neck and then braiding all three sections together for a more arduous look. The most crucial step in braiding hair is to plan your style. Having in mind what your end goal looks like will help you to form a path for getting there. The easiest amount to begin with will probably be four to six segment from the front to the back of the head. French and Dutch braids can look impressive with the braid ending at the hairline and the remaining hair caught in a ponytail. Try adding a head band to your new look to add some elegance.
