Step 1: First you make sure your hair is brushed through with no tangles.

Step 2: Next divide three small sections of hair at the top of your head just as you would a regular braid. Hold the left piece in the left hand, and the middle and right in the right hand.

Step 3: Cross the left piece over the middle piece, and then the right piece over the middle piece. Again, just like a normal braid.

Step 4: This is where french braiding comes in. Take the left piece and place it over the middle and hold it with your thumb, then take a small piece of hair from the side of your head and join it to the left piece.

Step 5: Do the same for the right side of the braid, joining a piece from the right side of the head into the main french braid.

Step 6: Continue this pattern until you have no more hair from either side of the head.

Step 7: Braid the  remaining hair as a regular braid and tie off the end with a hairband.
