01Prepare Your Hair

  • Start by washing and conditioning your hair as you normally would.
  • Apply a leave-in conditioner or styling product to help with manageability and hold.
  • Detangle your hair using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to remove any knots or tangles.

02Section Your Hair

  • Divide your hair into sections to make the braiding process easier.
  • Create a middle part from your forehead to the nape of your neck, dividing your hair into two equal halves.
  • Clip one side of your hair out of the way to work on the other side first.

03Start Braiding

  • Take a small section of hair from the front of one side and divide it into three equal parts.
  • Cross the right section over the middle section, then cross the left section over the middle section.
  • Continue crossing the sections over the middle section, adding more hair to each section as you go.
  • Continue braiding until you reach the nape of your neck.
  • Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.

04Repeat on the Other Side

  • Unclip the other side of your hair and repeat the braiding process.
  • Take a small section of hair from the front and divide it into three equal parts.
  • Cross the right section over the middle section, then cross the left section over the middle section.
  • Continue crossing the sections over the middle section, adding more hair to each section as you go.
  • Braid until you reach the nape of your neck and secure with an elastic band.

05Create an Updo

  • Take the right braid and wrap it around the left braid, creating a twisted effect.
  • Secure the ends of the braids with bobby pins, hiding them underneath the updo.
  • Continue pinning and securing the braids until you achieve your desired updo.
  • Use hairspray to set the style and keep it in place.
