How To FRENCH BRAID for Beginners ★ DIY Step by Step Tutorial ★

OPEN for INSTRUCTIONS! ↓⬇︎↓⬇︎↓

☟☟☟
Step by Step INSTRUCTIONS:

Pick up a section of hair from the top of your head.
Split it into 3 equal sections. Just like with a regular braid, cross the rightmost strand over the middle strand and then the leftmost strand over the middle strand.

You’re going to continue this, the only difference is that now you also have to add in sections from the sides of your head to those strands.

There are 2 ways of adding in the sections:

Method 1:
-Pick up a section of hair from the right side of head (kind of scoop it up with your thumb) and add it into the right strand. Your strand will become bigger/fuller. Now, cross this strand over the middle strand (just like with a regular braid).

Repeat this with the left strand: “Scoop” up a section of hair from the left side of your head. Add this section into the left strand and then cross it over the middle strand.

Repeat this process until you run out of hair, then continue braiding like you would with a regular braid.

Method 2:
-With this method you want to start off by crossing over the rightmost strand and THEN pick up a new section of hair from the right side of your head and cross that over as well.

Repeat with the left side: Cross the leftmost strand over the middle strand, THEN pick up a section of hair from the left side of you head, which you will also cross over the middle strand.

Just like with the other method, you want to continue this until you run out of hair, and then continue just like with a regular braid.

And that’s it!
As I said in the video, it does not matter what method you use, since you’re doing the exact same thing! Personally, I prefer the first method and I also find that it’s easier and quicker! :*

Tips and Tricks:
-Make sure you always hold down your strands tightly!
-Say the steps in your head while you’re doing them, so that you don’t get confused.
-If your hands get really tired, rest your elbow somewhere (like your desk, a shelf… etc.) but DO NOT let go of the strands. Otherwise, you will have to start over your whole braid.

I've been trying to learn how to do a French braid and but all the other videos I've watched they have bad angles. But urs!!! OMG u have the best angle!!!

[romywilliamson]

I think I need at least three hands to be able to do this.

Hi! I am 27 years old and am just starting to learn different styles for my thick straight hair. I have been searching for an easy-to-follow video for a French braid with a lot of frustration and just came across this video. I finally got it!

French braiding has always been hard for me, even though my mum can do it without even looking. I watched this video and tried it out and I completed my first successful French braid! Thank you very much!

[Akanatr]

I'm trying to learn so I can do it for my gf

[StrangeEcho]

Just tried this on my wife and failed, gave her a good laugh so still a success in my book.

[wiiusers]

I am going to probably give this a shot on my 9 year old tomorrow. Thank you for helping a dad try to learn how to braid his little girls' hair

[veragu]

AFTER SO MANY TRIES I FINALLY GOT IT!!! BLESS YOUR KIND SOUL!!!

[simply.stephc]

I just managed to do a half french braid somewhat messy, but it’s giving me hope that’ll get it with some more practice!

[AHannah]

I’d never thought about gathering the hair from the sides as your cross over each strand. That looks so much easier! I’m gonna try this.

[sarahturner]

This is so helpful! The first video I've seen that makes sense on how to French braid!!

[amyhofer]

I love this! Out of all the videos I've watched on French braids, it's the easiest to understand.
