The Basic English Braid is the most common and quick and easiest braid to do, even on yourself.

2.Cross the right hand segment over the middle areas. The original right hand is now the middle areas.

3.Pull the areas away from each other and fasten the plait.

4.Cross the left hand areas over the middle segment. The original left hand areas is now the middle areas.

5.Tighten the plait again.

6.Continue the process periodic right and left areas over the middle segment, tightening each plait as you make it.

7.Fasten the end of the braid with a hair- safe ponytail holder.

Once you’ve 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 areas together for a more arduous look. The most critical 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 sections from the front to the back of the head. French and Dutch braids can look gorgeous 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 chic.
