- 1). Remove tangles and knots by combing hair smooth with a fine-tooth comb.
- 2). Separate a 4-inch wide section of hair above the forehead. Divide this section into three parts, A, B and C.
- 3). Hold sections B and C between your index finger and thumb, while adding a small section of hair from the side to section A. Move section A under section C. Add another piece of hair from the side to section B and move it under section A. Continue braiding the sections under, instead of over, each other.
- 4). Braid down the back of the head, until there is no hair left on the sides to include into the main sections. Leave 2 to 3 inches of unbraided hair at the end, below the nape. Grasp the end of the braid with your fingers to prevent unraveling.
- 5). Wrap a non-rubber elastic around the hair just below the braid. Re-wrap the elastic to tighten, if necessary.
