  1. Brush your hair. Then spray your hair with either salt water or normal water to smooth the frizz.
  2. Divide hair into two sections. I like to use semi zigzag way while dividing my hair into two even sections. the braids will not look even which is okay. Then clip one side. It is easy to work on one section at a time.
  3. Create your first ponytail. Take a section of hair on one side at the top of your head and secure it with your elastic band.
  4. Create a second ponytail. Take a section from hair right under the first ponytail and secure with the band.
  5. Divide the first ponytail in half and put under the second. Then clip the second ponytail on top of your head.
  6. Create your third ponytail by including the two halves of the first ponytail to it. At this point you will notice your first braid. I like to pick hair from each side of my hair in picture 9 then you will repeat the process till you cannot pick up any hair from your sides as show in picture 11 and 12.
  7. finish off with either regular ponytail or continue with step 5 and 6 ( at this point you have no hair to collect from the sides).  As for ponytail you can divide it to three section and start normal braid or continue with the process till you have no hair left to braid.
  8. Optionalpull hair to stretch it and make it fuller as in picture 16. 
  9. Repeat step 1-8 to the other side of your hair. Now you have two french braids.

I’m so bad with braids so hopefully this will help!

    Beth! I was too but if you love to make a new different hairstyle then go with it. It is only hair and you can play with it and if you do not like it just untie and brush it 🙂
