After:
Step 1:
Brush your hair!
Step 2:
Part your hair in the middle and split evenly on both sides. You may have to use a mirror to look at the back of your head to make sure your part is even!
Step 3:
Tie the left side, or right, with a pony tail so it’s out of the way when you start braiding the other side.
Step 4:
Take your comb and grab the first couple inches of your hair along your part like so. And split into 3 smaller pieces.
Step 5:
Begin braiding these strands like normal, maybe two or three times.

Step 8:

Once you have finished with one side, add a tie and start with the next! Use Bobby pins to pin back anything that sticks out.
