How to create the braid:
1. Divide a small section of hair where you want the braid to start with three even sections.
2. Comb each section smooth.
3. Cross the right hand section under the middle section. The original right hand section is now the middle section.
4. Pull all the sections away from each other to tighten the braid.
5. Cross the left hand section under the middle section. The original left hand section is now the middle section.
6. Tighten the braid again.
7. Using the pointed end of a rat tail comb or your fingers, lift a small section of hair on the right by drawing a line against the scalp from the hairline to the middle of the braid about a half inch to an inch beneath the first braid. Take smaller or wider sections depending on how you want your braid to look.
8. Add the new section of hair to the existing section on the right and then cross it under the middle section; tighten the braid.
9. Again using the handle of a rat tail comb or your fingers, lift a small section of hair on the left by drawing a line against the scalp from the hairline to the middle of the braid even with the section you just lifted from the right, add this hair to the existing section on the left and then cross it under the middle section.
10. Continue the process alternating right and left sections under the middle section, tightening each braid as you make it, until you reach where you want to end the braid. Secure the end of the braid with a hair-safe ponytail holder. This style is gorgeous with the remaining hair in a regular braid or in a chignon look on the ends.
