Braiding hair has, traditionally been difficult, requiring patience, time, a willingness to learn and a good teacher. In this article, I will describe two methods, the four-strand braid, and the three-strand braid. Each style has its own properties and tricks, and each style offers a unique look with striking effect.

First, the four strand braid. It actually looks harder than it is, but keep in mind, that, although classical music may sound complicated, it is, like anything, layered simplicity. In this case, the layered simplicity is that you don’t want to put the hair sections over but instead go under, so once you get the knack of it, you can actually use any number of different strands.

An important tip to know is that in braiding, as with anything else, don’t worry about the time it takes. The important thing is to get the technique right, and then you work on getting it smooth. Once you work on the getting it smooth part, the speed will build.

The four strand type of braiding can be accomplished with short or medium hair, but the best hair for this is the longer length going past the shoulders. .You can do it even if the hair is short but not shorter than the nape, and when you do it that way, start at the crown with the upper sections.

It is easy to get intimidated by this style, but, in short there is a flat four strand braid you need to have the braids so there are 4 sections where you have to hang onto four strands of hair and there is the 4 stranded braid that becomes twisted. , where here there will be a coiled effect from the braid as it twists around itself. It takes nimble fingers and practice, but for the best step by step, you can look it up on the internet.

So much for the 4 strand process, now this is the 3 strand which means your bangs will end up to sides of your face which is also known as the tree braid process. This style is ideal for most face shapes but if your forehead is larger, then consult with your stylist.

If you have heard of invisible braiding then this is the tree braid style that attaches extensions. Either the hair will be loose or it will be braids that are pinched. with This only to give you some ideas of options, so that you see further detail on the internet, or get advice from your stylist.

To do this style, follow the cornrow procedure first, which may take hours, and then do the invisible braids pattern, which means you must do crossovers of the cornrows that, consist of 3 strands. This is done twice. Then taking the hair extension pull a section of the hair out. . Now make one crossover with a cornrow. Then take the hair extension and extract a section of the hair and then start from the beginning again.  If you want the braids to be invisible then do more pull outs and less crossovers

Now you will require a hairstyle that is going to enhance both the look of the loose hair combined with the braids.

When we think of hair braiding those of us who want to give our age away will refer to them as pigtails. Now that is really going back a distance. For you young ones, this was a hair style where a perfectly centered part was made down the back of the head, with the hair equal on both sides creating two groups of hair. Now one group was taken and broken down into three smaller sections. The more...
