I got a comment asking what a French braid was, so today I will show you.

I like how there is so many different ways to wear a French braid with a side part, middle part, diagonally braided, or just straight down the head (shown in the pictures)

Items Needed: Brush,comb, spray bottle, 1 hair tie, hairspray {if desired}

Time Requirement: 2-8 minutes

Skill Level: easy

Below is a video with me doing a french braid on myself:

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Divide a small section of hair where you want the braid to start (usually at the crown of the head) into three even sections.
2. Cross the right hand section over the middle section. (The original right hand section is now the middle section).
3. Cross the left hand section over the middle section. (The original left hand section is now the middle section).
4. Grab a small section of hair from the right and add the new section of hair to the existing section on the right and then cross it over the middle section
5. Again grab a small section of hair on the left  add this hair to the existing section on the left and then cross it over the middle section.
6. continue steps 4-5 until you run out of hair to add in, finish the braid off with a normal 3 strand plait, secure the ends with an elastic.

And there you have the French braid!
