Hair braid is a beautiful and protective style for your hair. To make French braids is a lot less complicated than seen.

To French braid, your hair follows the process below.

1. Part your hair down the middle of your entire head.

2. You now have your hair in two sections. Tie on side up to prevent the closure of the line.

3. Start braiding from the crown of your head. Position your hand by holding two strands in one hand and the third in another. Now begin crossing the right strand over to the center.

4. Bring in new hair and continue in the same pattern as above. Pick in hair from the sides to make your hair neat.

5. Continue till the end and hold your braids with a band. Now repeat the same process with the other parted hair.

There may be different types of braids that are available, so making all of these braids can be a bit complicated.

*You need to split your hair into two sections and make sure that you will take one small portion of your hair in the front portion.

*After that, you should split one section into three sections then place the small portion of the hair in front before placing it in the middle section of your hair.

*Once you are happy with the way that your braid looks like, you can fix the rest of your hair so that it will look like a normal braid.

There are some parts of your hair that you would need to loosen a bit.

• You have to, first of all, prepare your hair to French braid it. You do this by brushing your hair towards the back. If you want to make more than one braid, you will have to part your hair into sections, and then brush.

• After this, start sectioning your hair by bringing out a chunk from it. Make sure the chunk is on a straight row; it can be of about 3-4 inches.

• The next step is to divide the chunk into three equal parts, after which you run the hair just like traditional braids. Cross the right strand from over to the center and the left from over to the center.

• So, as you go on, bring in other strands from the remaining hair. Do this over every section now. But it is highly recommended you bring in hair strands that are close to your face and neck, so as to have a clean job.

• Continue with this process until you bring in all your hair. Even after the hair from the side must have finished, continue with the remaining until you complete the braiding process.

French braids are a popular style that anyone can achieve with their hair. It may seem confusing at first, but over time it does get easier.

To achieve this hairstyle, follow these steps.

• First, make sure the hair is unwashed and dry. It is easier to braid dry hair than it is wet hair.

• Part the hair into three sections.

• Pickup the sections of the hair with the index fingers.

• Begin to braid in a criss-cross method, putting one section over another.

• Continue feeding in more hair until all hair has been braided.

• Secure it with a pin or a rubber band.
