The Basic French Braid...

This is your regular, everyday french braid.
1) First, comb hair back and separate your hair into three equal sections Cross the strands right over the middle piece then left over the middle. As if you were starting a regular braid. If you have bangs use those to start.

2) Hold the three strands in your left hand and using your right hand gather hair on the right side of your head using your pointer finger. Add the hair you've gathered to the right strand.

3) Move the right strand to the middle so that the middle strand is now on the right.

4) Now switch all the strands from your left hand to your right and gather hair on the left side of your head. Add the hair you gathered to the left strand.

5) Move that strand to the middle so the middle strand is now the left strand.

6) Repeat steps 2-5 until you have no more hair to add and make a regular braid the rest of the way down.
