Okay, so to begin you're gon na start by sectioning, the hair at the top and then you're going to split it into three smaller sections. So you have the top middle and a bottom, and this will just make it easier to braid down okay. So the motion for corn Rowan is really your just pass in the middle section under and then grab in here from each side each time. So, as you can see right now, I'm about to pass my forefinger underneath the middle section grab here from the right-hand side. That section now becomes the new middle section and then you take your forefinger again pass it underneath the middle section grab hair from the left-hand side and it's important to grab the hair each time, because that's how it begins to kind of stick down to the head. To make a cane we're basically

King vic: Thank u so much ,this video was so helpful

Soe Clark: Is there ever a time the hair has to be detangled/moisturized, and then dried as you go, like, by section? Or is better braiding it dry after you've detangled, moisturized, and dried the entire head of hair? Not talking about washing, but if there ever needs to be a focus on moisturize before someone has braids in for a while, to prevent breakage?

angela: Thus may sound like a silly question but as we're moving down the hair where is the rest of the hair going?. Is it going into the three seperates naturally. ?? Or am I missing something?? X
