How to braid

1. Divide

You can practice on some rope or go straight to your hair.


Divide your hair or rope into three even sections.


Hold the left section with your left hand, and the right section with your right hand.


Let the middle section hang freely.


Ensure that the sections are as equal in size as possible.

2. Fight for the middle

Begin by bringing one of the outer strands over to the middle section so it becomes the new middle strand.


Now take the opposite outer strand and cross that over to the middle section.


It’s like all the strands are in a constant fight for the middle.

3. Repeat

Repeat step 2 over and over until you get to the bottom. This creates a pattern that makes the braid. Keep a firm grip on the strands to maintain even tension throughout the braid.
