I have gone ahead and divided the hair into three pieces to do my French braid. And what I am going to do is cross one inside the other. Okay, by crossing it this way, I take it and put my finger down because it is easy to hold the hair, and I am bringing the other piece of hair inside across. I am going to take the piece of hair here, comb it a little bit at a slant, as we see that I grab that, and I am going to take it and bring it inside the hair. You can make the French braids loose. You can make them tight and you can also do a French braid on wet hair, but I am going to make hers just a little bit looser. Okay, she has a lot of little hairs, as you see, sticking up, and we are going to go ahead and flatten that in a minute. What we are going to do first is our French braid. See, I am crossing it, bringing it inside that finger, taking the other piece and going over, coming inside like this, taking the piece, coming over. I am going to continue to do this straight down the hair, all the way down until we are done, and we continue to do a braid… finish off with a braid, and some styling products to leave the hairs down, and you will see that’s what is going to happen.
