How to French Braid Your Own Hair
Instructions
STEP 1: Take a 3-inch-long by 1-inch-wide section of your hair just above the forehead or behind your bangs. Divide the section into three even pieces which will start off your french braid. STEP 2: Wrap your left thumb around the left section, palm facing front, fingers sticking straight up. Mimic the same posture on the right side, and let the middle section lie against the head. STEP 3: Make a soft fist around the left section of hair, turning your hand so that your fingers rest on the head. Bring the section of hair in your right hand across the middle section and hook it with your left index finger. STEP 4: Lead with the right thumb and cut about a 1-inch section of hair straight across the head, starting at the hairline and moving toward the middle section. Collect the middle section and pull all of the hair tight. The line of hair you collected in each section of your french braid should lie flat and smooth. STEP 5: Make a soft fist with the right hand, fingers facing your scalp. Reach the right index finger over the middle section and hook the section of hair that's in your left fist. Pull it out gently, keeping a firm grip on the french braid sections in your right hand. STEP 6: Let the section in your left hand dangle. Lead with the left thumb and cut about a 1-inch section of hair straight across the head, collect the middle section, then pull all of the hair tight. Turn the fist so that your fingers face your scalp. STEP 7: Extend your left index finger to hook the section of hair that's in your right fist. Continue until the french braid is complete. Tips & Warnings
Trust your fingers. They'll develop a sense of sight, allowing you to achieve the french braid without using your eyes.

begin at the tippedy top of your head as if you were doing a normal braid. But with each time you switch the three sections of hair take some other hair with it. It is confusing at first but you will get the hang of it. Practice on dolls or barbies!

Merry Christmas/ Hannukah and good luck!

You can either make a part down the middle and have two braids or you can have a single braid down the middle. You can either braid over-hand (which is easier) or underhand. Good Luck

just like a regular braid but only start with a little bit of hair and pick up pieces as you go along.

you start at the front and you get a little hair and then put it in three parts and do a regeuler braid and then do again and again so on and so forth. (*(I)*) :P
