Answer 1

seperate hair into a half tail. Split the top half to braid and do a couple weaves. Then when you bring the next strand across take up a little of the bottom half of the hair. Repeat until you run out of the bottom half and then finish braid as normal.

Answer 3

ok i taught myself how to french braid by watching my camp counselor you do take the hair on the top of your head and start off a normal braid. only tuck each side once then add more hair keep doing this till you have no loose hair ends. It sounds easy but it takes getting used to. youll get used to it

Answer 4

its just like normal braiding except everytime you start a new cycle to make a new braid knot you just take some more hair from the sides. the truth is you cant teach how, you just gotta practice, over and over. play with your hair, if you arent busy just practice with your hair and eventually you will get it and it will come naturally.

Answer 7

Slot 1 is between the thumb and index fingers.
Slot 2 is between the index and middle fingers.
Slot 3 is between the middle and ring fingers.
Slot 4 is between the ring and little fingers.
Right and left hands will be denoted by a capital R or L after the slot number. For example, 1R is between the thumb and index finger of the right hand.

Directions:
Separate a lock of hair from the rest of the hair at the place where you want to begin the braid.
Put the lock of hair in your left hand.
Insert the index and middle finger of your right hand through the lock, going from underneath to the surface, separating the lock into three strands.
Use your left hand to separate the strands out to the end of the hair.

Put the strand on the left into slot 1L, palm up.
Rotate your right hand palm down and put the strand from slot 1R into either slot 2 or 3L.

Move the strand in your right hand into slot 1R.
Rotate your left hand palm down and put the strand from slot 1L into either slot 2 or 3R.

Move the strand in your left hand into slot 1L.
Move the strand from slot 2 (or 3)R to slot 2L.
Move the strand from slot 1R into slot 3L.
Use your right hand to gather another section of hair.

Add the new strand of hair to the strand in slot 3L.
Move the newly combined strand to slot 1R.
Move the middle strand (in slot 2L) to slot 2R.
Rotate your right hand palm down and put the strand from slot 1R into slot 2L.


Move the strands into your right hand (strand remaining in right hand moves to slot 1R, strand in slot 2L moves to slot 2R, strand from slot 1L moves to slot 3R.)
Use your left hand to gather another section of hair.
Add the new section of hair to the strand in slot 3R.

Rearrange the strands as necessary and continue braiding as shown.
Tie off the end with a rubber band or other fastener
