Step 1: Detangle your hair using a hair comb to get rid of bumps. Step 2: Decide where you want your braid to be positioned. (That is at the sides or at the centre behind) Step 3: After you select the position make a partition, it is optional if you don’t you can avoid a partition. Step 4: Divide your hair into four equal parts.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE Step 1: Split the hair into 4 equal strands. Step 2: Take the right strand and cross it over the strand next to it. Step 3: Then take the same strand and cross it under the strand next to it. Step 4: Take the left strand and cross it under the strand next to it.

Follow the 4-strand technique. Start by crossing 4 over 3, then under 2. Cross 1 under 2 and 4 over 3. 3 Cross 1 under 2, then over 3. Cross 4 over 3 and 1 under 2. Repeat this pattern to the end of the braid and secure.

The 5 Steps Way Step 1: Divide your hair into 4 strands. You will have an outer right, inner right, inner left, and outer left strand. Step 2: Take the outer right strand and weave it over the inner right strand, so the 2 switch places. Step 3: Take that same strand and weave it under the inner left strand, and then over the outer left strand.
