The French braid

A French braid starts at the top of your head and keeps your hair tidy all day. It's great for sport and school.

• Brush your hair and take a section above your forehead.
• Split it into three equal parts and do one step of a classic braid.
• Before crossing the left strand, add a little loose hair from the left side to it.
• Do the same on the right.
• Keep adding hair at every step until you reach your neck.
• Finish the rest as a classic braid and tie it off.

Your arms will get tired the first time, and that's normal. Practise on a friend or sister first, because it's easier to see on someone else. Keep the strands you add thin and even.
