Hey guys today, I'm going to be doing a video on how to get neat french braids um, and this was request excite. You have a video on how to French braid, but I'm just going to show you how to make it neater. So the first thing I'm going to do is make sure my hair is parted down the middle on top here. So what I do, I'm just going to take my finger. Follow along my nose all the way up and just kind of go back, and I do a straight part know what you didn't want to do to break the back. You followed this part on top all the way down, and then you take the hair party over your shoulders and you may miss a couple times to make sure it's straight. Okay, take one side into a pigtail just to get it out of the way. Then you're going to brush through the other side and make sure there aren't any section of hair smaller than meter. So this is a fairly small piece, so riod is going to be neither my front right. Eliminator. Take it into three pieces like this and you're, going to take your hair, the piece in the back you're, going to take it over the middle piece and now the piece that was in the back is the middle piece. Then you take the front piece over the middle piece. So now the front piece is the middle piece, very, very important you take it over and not under, because when you're normally doing a braid, we braid underneath, like that. You don't want to do that, because that kind of messes up front rate so he's pardon to do pieces back piece over the middle, which this piece is down the middle. Then the front piece over the middle, which tack he's down the middle and kind of position. It the hair in your hands, to where you're comfortable, then you're, going to take a small section of hair from the front. I take it into my pinky because I find that's the easiest way to hold it, and then you take it into the middle piece like that, make sure going over into the middle piece, not under okay. Then you take the back piece of hair and you braid. It over the middle piece: okay, now you go to this side, the back side, take small piece of hair and pinky and kind of combed that piece of hair with your finger, because if you don't I'm kind of going to be Lobo me, you take the back Piece and hold it with your other hand, because you don't want to put the piece of hair into that piece. Then you take this piece into the middle piece. Okay, now we are going to take the front piece and braid it over the middle piece see how I'm doing it. Hopefully so, okay make sure you go piece into pinky. Follow me step-by-step first thing you do hair into the pinky. Now I'm going to move this piece of hair, so you see I'm going to take this piece of hair hair here umm and I'm going to take it into my other hand, like this. This piece of hair here that we just took you put that into the middle piece. Okay, then you take the back piece and you braid it over the middle piece, and you just do this the whole way it's like he's there come through it with your hand. Okay, this piece here, I'm taking it into this hand, then you're taking this piece here and into the middle piece, then you're taking the front piece and braiding over the middle piece, and that is not a real piece. Okay, I'm going to speed this up and I'll come back to you later to show you guys again make sure to keep it high on your head and close to your scalp, because if you kind of keep your arms low, you're going to go low, French braid And you don't want that, make sure you're holding it tight and every time you do where you make sure it's tight. Okay, I'm going to show you I'm taking a piece of hair from the back, bring it over. You want to make sure your French braid is going to the back. So now your French braiding, your hands, are going to be more to the back. Okay, because else your french braid isn't going to be much in the back, just maybe a front, and that doesn't look too nice okay. So I'm going to show you again just how to do this. Take a piece of hair into the pinky. Take the front piece into your other hand: take that into the middle piece. Take the back piece, bring it over the over little piece. Okay, I'm taking the last piece in and then you just finished a braid, so making sure to braid the same way. You do back piece over middle front piece over middle back piece over middle, a piece over middle all the way down. Then you tie it off with the rubber band. Okay looks like let's do when you get to this side to this side and then you're done so that it looks like just make sure it's tight against your head and when you get to the back kind of make sure your arms are more towards the back And not towards the front, because else your french braid attending more towards the front so have your arms to the back and then take the pieces in so hopefully this helped. You just do back to the other side and then you're done. Please comment like this. Video subscribe, please any videos you want me to make I'll try making thanks watching that

MsLaBajo: Ok, I'm probably twice your age and you just taught me how to do this. You go, girl! Mine are still not as "neat" as I'd like but I'm just now learning. Thank you, you're an awesome teacher! I am gonna keep practicing.
Destiny Smith: finally someone on youtube who actually knows how to explain things well
Karen Laidman: Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I totally has an aha moment while you were explaining where to put the "extra" pieces. I always thought you add hair to the side pieces. Seeing that you added them to the middle makes me excited to try this. I've always added to the side and my braids are always messy when done on myself. Can't wait to try this tomorrow morning.

Bundabrg Lodur: A dad here. Thanks for the tut. I braid my daughters hair but I'm still quite messy at the front (they have shorter front hair). I'll try your trick of putting the spare under your pinky first as I always find I have the middle strand slipping a bit when I try add.

I can't tell u how many tutorials I've watched specifically on this type of double french braid against the scalp & was NEVER able to achieve the look! That is, until I watched this video! I just tried it on my sister's hair & HAAAY, Lol finally, finally got it! For me, what set you apart was zooming in the camera to show your finger placement & then jus really being very detailed with each step. It was like the lightbulb finally went off in my head saying "Oh, so that's how you do it!" Lol. Pls continue in this manner of teaching for those of us who SOOO appreciate them!
