The Original

This is a classic French braid which neatly pulls the hair away from the face and keeps it in place.



How To Style:

1. Take a large section of hair from the top center of your head.
2. Separate this section into three strands.
3. Take the strand on the left and cross it to the center.
4. Take the strand on the right and cross it to the new center.
5. Take the new strand on the left to the center, but this time incorporate hair on the side of it that was not included in the initial large section created.
6. Take the new strand on the right to the center, but this time incorporating hair on the side of it that was not included in the initial large section created.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you read the nape and there is no more loose hair to incorporate into the braid.
8. Continue doing a regular three-strand braid by alternating crossing the left and right strand to the center until there is no more hair left to braid.
9. Secure with an elastic.
10. Tame flyaways and secure the style with a finishing spray.
