How to do a French Braid?

Glad you asked...
To begin making a french braid you will need to untangle the hair and make sure it is completely free from tangles. Next you will split the hair into 3 sections. Then create the first turn by rotating the sections so that the sections of hair farthest to the right goes into the middle and the piece that was in the middle is now on the right. Secure these sections with your fingers while you use the comb to bring in a new section from outside of the braid into it and add the new hair to the far right side and give another turn so that the middle piece is now on the far left. Continue trading the sections of hair, first center and the right, then the center and the left. Add new hair at appropriate sides of the head at each turn. Continue braiding the same way all the way down. Have the person you are braiding look down while you braid the nape of the neck, so that it doesn't stand too far away or look messy. When your done adding sections comb all three ends for the braid. Continue braiding until you have gotten to the end of their hair.
