Braiding for Dummies

I only learned how to braid literally like two weeks ago, the only time my hair gets braided is when one of my sisters do it for me. I remember checking online on how to braid hair and there weren't any images so I ended up getting extremely confused. It's actually pretty easy once you understand the pattern, you can master this in about a minute. Hopefully the visuals in this guide is clear enough for you braiding newbies!

STEP ONE: Grab a section of your hair and separate them into 3 equal parts. Label from left to right A, B, and C in your mind

---

STEP TWO: Place section C over section B or RIGHT over CENTER

---

STEP THREE: Place section A over section C or LEFT over CENTER

---

STEP FOUR: Pull on all three strands so that your braid tightens, label the endpoints of your hair A, B, and C from left to right

---

STEP FIVE: Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until no hair is left then secure it with a hair tie
TIP: While you are braiding, say the pattern out loud so it's easy to remember..


Right over Center > Left over Center 
Right over Center > Left over Center
Right over Center > Left over Center

And you're done! Now you've mastered the art of basic braiding. You can accent your hair whenever you want but don't braid your hair just to impress a guy. He won't notice anything different with you unless you shaved your head.
