Today, Rylan and I will be showing you how to create a 4-Strand French Braid Pinback. This is not a new braid style {you can find it everywhere}, however it is the first time that we've shown you how to create it.

To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGH4StrandFrench

I particularly love this braid as an accent, as seen here, but you also could do these as Frenchbacks into braids or ponytails on both sides... very versatile braids that work great in many hairstyle combos!

( happy music, ) [ Together, ] Hi, guys It's Mindy and Rylan, and today we're gon na show you how to do this awesome, 4-strand, French, braid, pin back, which is a fantastic hairstyle for those quick back-to-school mornings that we're all just about to face again.. Now, if you love all of our videos, be sure to give us a thumbs up and be sure to subscribe to our videos so that you don't miss any. And let's get going. To begin. I did a side-part on her like a deep side-part. And then I parted behind her head about an inch above her ears, and then I stopped., I have sort of this rectangular shaped section.. I'M gon na take the rest of her hair and just kind of secure. It out of the way so that it doesn't get intermixed into our braid right now., I'm gon na go back up to the top and I'm going to just grab a little piece of the top hair here., I'm going to break that into four pieces.. So one two three and four. So now you have your four strands that you're going to be working with., I'm gon na number them like this one, two, three and four from left to right. You're gon na take piece number one and go under number two and Over number three. Then you're going to stop for a minute.. Then you're gon na go to this piece number four and it's going to go over number three and under number two., So you're, just switching all the different hairs into different locations.. But essentially, if you just remember that this side, the left side is always going to start by going under so it goes under and then over. And the right piece is always gon na go over and then under. It'll be easy.. So this outside piece, you're gon na pick up hair and add it in to that little piece right, here. Now remember this one's going under so under number three over number two and then we stop. Pick up hair and add it in to that outside edge.. This one goes over all the time., So it goes over and then back under. Like that. And then we stop. Add in hair. It goes under and then over and stop. Add in hair, and this side goes over and it doesn't really matter how your fingers choose to hold it as long as you're. Getting that same pattern going that same repetition. Now, what you'll start noticing is that this strand right here, number three: it just interweaves. It never goes to the outside.. All of the others end up falling to the outside at some point and getting more hair added in, but this little one doesn't. So you'll start seeing this little ribbon of hair going through. (, fun, music ). Now, when you get to this point, I've run out of hair to pick up and add in so I'm just going to start doing a regular four-strand braid. Again I'll show you right here.. I have my four-strand one, two three and four and it's the same pattern. Under and then over. Then this outside piece goes over and then under and then under over., So I'm gon na get to there and I can see that piece in the middle. I'M about to lose it., You can see it's getting really short., I'm going to secure it with an elastic right here and then release the rest of her hair and pin it back.. But before I do that, I want to make it really pop.. You can leave it like this, it's nice and tight., But I actually like to go back and pop that outside edge right here by pancaking that top piece like this, so that it really over-accents that top edge. - And this is just personal preference. - You don't have to Do this, if you don't want to., Then I'm going to just lift a little section of hair right here.. This is why I leave a little piece down by their ears, because I find that it just looks softer more natural looking.. Take a couple bobby pins turn her, so you can see. And make sure I cross them. Help hold that in place and then let the hair fall over the top to help hide those bobby pins for us., And we are done. Final spin.

Cheyenne V.: This is probably one of my favorite hairstyle ever!

Chloe Kingston: can you do a really pretty but not too big and fancy hairstyle (a braid would probably work best) that you can wear with your hair down but can also just whip it up in a ponytail? I'm not sure if that makes sense thoughin a simpler way, pretty much a little braid / accent in your hair that will stay in if you put it in a basic ponytail. it's just because I have PE at school and I like to wear my hair down but we have to wear it up! keep up the amazing work!

axriaa: This is beautiful.. Out looks so easy but using 4 strands i kept messing it up. Any suggestions on how to make it any easier? By the way i love your hairstyles the best. I TRY to do most all on my 6 yr old granddaughter. Thanks

Diana C.: You always do great hairstyles! The only things I've noticed (coming from a licensed hairstylist) is that you are using a foil comb instead of a stylist rat tail comb, and also inserting the bobby pins the wrong way. Try using them with the curvy side up, you'll find the give a better hold and are easier to hide.

Roshni Qadri: I love this hairstyle so much i will definitely try it

Catherine Pears: I love your videos!! Could you do a tutorial on a Dutch fishtail please?

David Parker: You make it look so easy but when I try to do the hairstyle it looks like an explosion

Ella Wilson: I would like to see more fishtail hairstyles or half up half down hairstyles!

Braids By Luna: 5-strand with ribbon, I love you btw and your such an inspiration

Isabella Saggese: Is this a DIY? I love it!!!❤️

sloane zeller: I want to see something with a pretty braided bun!! :) btw i love your channel!!!!!!!!

theredhead: Rylan is sooooo cute!

Elise Coudray: It's beautiful I love it thank you very much

Ashfaq Ahmad: You should do 2 minute hairstyles to do quickly before school, BTW love this hairstyle, will do it on eid

Ginger Faulkner: Hi Mindy! Love all the different braids and styles you make available!! Also, were you at Disney any time this week? We were there this past week, thought I saw you and the girls on Thunder Mountain Railroad a couple nights ago, if so, I hope you enjoyed :)

Carrie's Comments: I have sons so they wouldn't appreciate this, but all the same it's a gorgeous hairstyle! Makes me wish my hair was long :)

Rachel Martz: Hi Mindy! I have a school dance coming up, but I have no idea what to do with my hair. The only problem is, my hair just got cut to 7 1/2 - 8 inches long. I'm not in love with the short accents that you've posted, so can you help? 8 inch hair with layers is kinda hard to do stuff with! Do you think you can post a fancy tutorial for short hair! It would mean the world to me! ~Rachel
