You Will Need
-
Step 1Start with a section of hair in the center front of the head.
-
Step 2Divide the hair into three equal sections
-
Step 3Cross the left section over the middle, then the right section over the middle (begin a three strand braid).
-
Step 4Take a section from the front (not a slice all the way through the hair, just a chunk from the hairline) and add it to the left side piece and cross the whole thing over the middle. This is what is called a mermaid braid. It's a lot like a French braid but as stated before, you are taking chunks of hair from the hairline rather than slices all the way through the hair.
-
Step 5Repeat step four on the right side.
-
Step 6Repeat steps 4 and 5 one or two more times, or until you have reached the desired braid length.
-
Step 7Finish off by doing a three strand braid to the ends of the hair and tying off with an elastic. You are done!
