How to French Braid Your Hair: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

How to Do a French Plait

The French plait is a style that offers a chic and structured appearance to your hairstyle. It’s essentially the same as a French braid, with the braiding pattern creating a beautiful woven effect.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Start at the Crown: Begin by dividing your hair at the crown into three equal sections.
2. Initiate Braiding: Follow the traditional braiding pattern of crossing the right section over the middle, then the left over the new middle section.
3. Incorporate Hair: As you braid, add small sections of hair from the sides into each section before crossing over.
4. Continue Braiding Downward: Keep braiding until you reach your desired length or the ends, securing the plait with an elastic band.
