5 step Classic french braiding for fall!!

Here's how you make a classic french braid for fall in 5 steps!

  1. Prep your hair. We recommend working with dry hair, but you can work with wet hair.  With wet hair, hair will be in pretty waves after the braid, when you remove it. Brush your hair and free it from all tangles. Get your hair ready to be smooth and silky.  
  2. Section your hair. Take a large chunk of hair from the top section of your head. It should be 3-4 in. wide and it should come from the same row of hair.
  3. Separate the section into 3 strands. Run your fingers through the section you just made and separate it evenly.
  4. Start braiding. Braid your hair like you normally would and start from the top. As you go  down, take hair from the bottom and braid it into the braid. 
  5. Finish off your braid at the end by tying an elastic. Secure strands of hair popping out by spraying some water in a misting bottle into your hair. Secure large strands popping out with bobby pins. Create your own variations by turning the french braid into a bun or a ponytail. Enjoy!

Hair extensions
