A Step By Step French Braid Video Tutorial
Keep in mind that there really is no "right or wrong" way to hold the strands in your hands. Whatever works for you to get the job done is just fine. I actually have learned 2 different ways of holding the strands that I like to use while french braiding and switch things up often, but I believe the technique shown in our video below is the easiest to learn.
I realize that learning to french braid can be frustrating, and it is going to take some practice. The more you practice, the easier it will become. Soon, you will be braiding in your sleep! ;) When you are first starting out, you might try having someone help you rewind the first part of the video over and over for you as you are braiding, until you get the hand positioning down. I really tried to go slowly and break down each step of the plaiting in this video, and hopefully it will help someone. If you already know how to braid, this tutorial will most likely drive you nuts, lol. I find this a hard thing to teach!
After you have mastered this braid, here are a few cute french braids hairstyles to try:
Side Swept French Braid Flower
French Braids Ponytail
The Braided Part Hairstyle
