2. Pull the very top hair section over the middle section of your hair. After which, simply pull the bottom section of hair over whatâs now the middle division â exactly the way a traditional braid is fabricated. However, ensure that you are braiding the hair towards the back of your head.
3. Now take another section of hair thatâs smaller and take it closest to the top hair section. Combine the stated two hair sections as the top section is pulled over the middle one. Do the same process (repeat) with the bottom section of your hair â however, slot in another small segment as you pull it above the middle segment.
4. This way, carry on braiding around the entire head â filling in hair segments with each step. You can seamlessly set the braid low, in close proximity to the back of your neck or high on your crown. Nevertheless, ascertain that you are using all the hair at the nape of the neck.
5. Bring your hairdo to the end by going on to braid down and over your shoulder.

6. Lastly, make the bottom of your braid safe and sound by using a hair elastic.
