Answer 1

Styling Instructions Steps:
Remember to smooth the hair as you make each new cross. When you pick up hair from one side of your head, make sure you move it to the side opposite from the one you picked up on.

Take a small triangular section of hair from the very front or crown section of the hair. If you have bangs start the braiding behind the bangs and not at the bangs. Any styling you want to do to your bangs can be done at the end after the braiding is finished.

Divide the small triangular section of hair into two separate, but equal strands.

Cross the right strand over the left strand.

Place both of the strands in the right hand with the index finger in between, palm up.

Pick up a 1" section on the left. Starting at your hairline, continue across the top of your head and end in the middle by your right hand. If you are not sure what 1" of hair is, use a ruler to measure and get an idea of this thickness.

Cross this section over the left strand and add to the right strand. You are actually making a big X in your hair.

Put both strand in the left hand with the index finger in-between, palm up, as shown.

Pick up a 1" section on the right side. Starting at the hairline, continue across the head and end in the middle by your left hand.

Cross the section over the right strand and add it to the left strand. Once again you are making a giant X.

Put both strand in the right hand with your index finger in-between, palm up.

Continue making the X configuration in your hair until you reach the nape of your neck. Tie the braid off with a "hair friendly" elastic covered tie in the same color as your hair or add a jeweled hair tie.
After you have tied off the braid at the nape of the neck, make a Fishtail braid in the hair that is left over at the nape of the neck.

its almost like a regular braid.the only difference is you separate your hair ponytail in two instead of three.then you take a small piece from the out er part of one and cross over and put it to the inner part of the other part.then you do the same exact thing to the other side. then over and over till you done
