Step 1: Brush hair
Brush your hair until it's free of tangles.

Step 2: Separate into three sections
Separate the hair on the top of your head into three sections.

Step 3: Cross hair
Cross the right section over the middle section, and then cross the left section over the middle section, as you would with a regular braid.

Step 4: Add hair
Gather another small section of hair from the right side of your head into the right-hand section, and cross it over the middle section.

Tip
Keep the braid tight by pulling hair sections and keeping your hands close to the head.

Step 5: Add more hair
Add a small section of hair from the left side of your head into the left-hand section, and cross it over the middle section.

Tip
While gathering more hair with one hand, keep the three sections in your other hand.

Step 6: Repeat
Repeat, adding small sections one by one, until you have gathered all the hair into the braid.

Step 7: Finish braid
Once you reach the nape of the neck, finish braiding the length of the hair.

Step 8: Fasten
Fasten the end of the braid with a decorative band. Spray it with hairspray and show it off.

Did You Know?
Did you know? The London cast of Hairspray the musical used approximately 80 cans of hairspray a week.

    If u have side bangs pull them back and brush it down. If they automatically swing back into place, pull them back with an elastic until your ready to do the French braid.
