  • braid tips- pseudo french braid

      Here is a trick to braid your hair so the front pieces are less likely to fall out. The effect looks like a pseudo-french braid, but it's much easier and similar to a classic braid.

      First, gather 2 pieces of hair from the sides, one from the right, the other from the left. Bring them together so they meet in the middle of your head and combine them into one strand. The total thickness of this combined strand should be about 1/3 of your overall hair thickness. This will be the MIDDLE strand when you begin the braid.

      Next, take the remaining 2/3 of your hair and divide it in half. These will be the RIGHT and LEFT strands, respectively.

      Then braid the 3 strands as you would a normal braid, keeping it as tight as you can at the top to secure those fly-away front pieces. happy.gif

      Hopefully this helps you. The nice thing about this kind of braid is that it starts the sides higher up your head and pulls them in tighter than a normal braid, while maintaining the normal braid's simplicity and easy execution. I find that when I use this braid on wet hair, I can wear it all day without having to re-braid.

      Happy Braiding!
