A French braid is a classic hairstyle most little girls have at least once in their life. While it looks like a complicated process, it’s actually quite simple. The following steps will help you make a basic French braid in your little girl’s hair.
Brush the Hair
For a clean look, it’s important to ensure there are no tangles in the hair. Brush it through with a brush and then if possible, a comb. When done brushing, bring all of the hair to the back, or to the side if you want a side braid.
Section the Hair
Grab sections of the hair about 3 to 4 inches wide from the top of your little girl’s head. This section should be where you grab hair from, so don’t take strands from below or above this section.
Separate One Chunk
Now that you have one chunk of hair, separate it into three pieces. You can smooth out the strands with your fingers. Hold all three pieces with your two hands. You may have two sections in one hand, and then one section in the other hand. Do whatever is most comfortable for you.
Begin the Braid
Bring the right strand of hair you are holding over to the center. Cross the left strand over the one that you just brought to the center. Continue this pattern until you have a few rows.
Bring in New Hair Strands
After braiding the top of the head, you will have some hair on the sides that can be brought into the braid. Simply grab hair from the side, place it in the center of the braid, and join it with the existing strand already there to make one. You can then continue with the cross overs bringing the left over into the center.
Join the Rest of Your Hair
After grabbing all of the hair on the left and right side of her head, you can work the rest of her hair into the braid. Simply take pieces at the nape of her neck and incorporate them into the braid.
Braid the Rest
Once you have all of the hair in the braid, all you have to do is braid the rest of it. When you’re done, simply secure it with an elastic and beautiful bow.
