When you are sure that your hair is straightened, start by holding a section of your hair from one eyebrow arch to the next. Split that part of hair into three equal sections. Make sure that you hold the rest of the remaining hair using elastic. The three-section of hair will be the starting point of your braid.
Step Three
Start braiding the section of hair by bringing the right section under the section in the middle then the left section of hair under the new middle section. Add some sections of hair from the right side of your head to the right section of your braid. Continue the same process of bringing that new section under the middle section. Add some hair from the left side of your head to the left section of your braid. Bring the left section under the new middle section.
