#phiftop5braids How to braid the top five easy braids! Twist or Rope Braid; 3 Strand Braid (Regular and Dutch style); Four Strand 3D Braid; Five Strand Braid; and Fishtail Braid.
If you are a beginner and are learning how to braid, this tutorial will show you step by step instructions for each braid. Rewatch each segment to get each braid down quickly! Learning to do our own hair is a life skill and one that we will use daily! I love teaching my girls how to do simple braids and tricks. It increases their confidence and makes them more independent. They also love teaching and sharing with their friends. :)
AND for the record......if you are one of the VERY few uncool that it isn't obvious to.......her hair is WET for the video--not greasy. Ew! Like I would ever let her hair get THAT greasy?! Am I right!? Seriously. Loves to all the rest of you very smart people who understood from the beginning.

Okay for a twist braid, you just want to separate the hair into two halves and then you want to twist them in the same direction.. So I'm going to twist them both to the left and then I'm going to wrap the opposite, direction., So you'll wrap to the right.. So I continue twisting to the left, wrap to the right twist and left wrap to the right. For a three strand braid. You want to separate it in three equal sections.. First I'll show you how to do a regular braid crossing it over at the top., So you cross one strand over the middle. Take your outside piece cross that one over the middle.! You see how the middle changes! I keep crossing from the right and from the left, always switching the middle.. Now, if you want to do a Dutch version of this braid, you just simply put the strands underneath.. So I take my three sections and instead of going over, you go under the middle and then under under and under. For a 4-strand 3d round, braid you're going to take four strands of hair, and I put it in between my fingers like this.. This is section one, two, three and four. So what I do is I just transfer this to my other hand.. So I pick up section three. I put it in the first spot. I pick up section four put in second spot.. I twist the remaining two and put those in section three and four of my other hand. Watch again. I pick up this section here, put in my first spot last section put it in a second twist three and four. One more time pick up. Section 2 goes in the first spot last section twist like so, and all the way down. For a five strand braid. We have five sections of hair Three here and two., I'm gon na start with the section has three.. So you see the middle piece. You are always going to be crossing over that in the end. So to start you cross your outside piece over the one next to it and under the middle.. So now we have three here.. We do the same thing, ( again ) outside piece over and then under the middle. Outside piece over and then under the middle. Outside piece over and then under For a fishtail braid. You just split your hair evenly in half and then what you do is you pick up a small section from the outside edge of one side, and then you just cross it over to the other side like so.. Do the same thing on the other side Pick up outside section and cross it over Hope you enjoyed our top 5 braids, See you next Tuesday. Bye See you when TUESDAY
