Step 5: The hair should be braided.

A regular three-strand braid can be started using only the portion of hair in front of the part.The first two stitches of the braid should be the same as a regular three- strand braid.Cross the right strand over the middle strand.

Adding a small amount of hair to the front and back strands of the braid is easy.No hair should be added to the middle strand.Adding small amounts of hair will make your braid appear neat and tight, while adding larger amounts will cause the braid to be looser and messier.

You can braid the hair again by adding two more stitches to the braid.The back strand should be crossed over the new center strand.

Step 8: The braid needs more hair.

Continue to add more hair from the front and back of the part line to the braid.

Step 9: Continue repeating the steps until you reach the other side.

There is a difference between the french braid and a regular three- strand braid.The french braid will lie flat on the head since you are adding hair to it.

Step 10: The braid should be finished.

The french braid is almost done when you run out of hair.Continue the braid with a few more braid stitches to keep the french braid secure.
