Hair Braiding
When removing braids, the best method involves coating braids with
conditioner and gently unraveling them one by one. A warm shower
with normal shampoo and conditioner products should restore hair to
its usual texture and appearance. Braiding does involve a bit of a
learning curve. But once you've got it down, you can put a braid in
someone's hair or your own hair in a matter of minutes. Braiding
will become much easier with continued practice.
Braiding someone else's hair or the front section of your own hair
Steps:
1. Begin with clean, dry hair. You may want to blow-dry wavy or
curly hair straight to give the braid a more even texture. Add
some styling gel or pomade to hair to smooth flyaways and make
hair easier to manage.
2. Divide tangle-free hair into three even sections. Place the left
section between your left index finger and thumb, let the middle
section hang free and place the right section between your right
index finger and thumb.
3. Grab the middle section with your right middle finger and pull
it so it passes behind the right section. Extend your right thumb
and index finger so the portion of hair therein becomes the middle
section.
4. Use the left middle finger to pull the middle section behind the
left section. Extend or straighten the left index finger and thumb
to make the left section become the middle section.
5. Shift the part of hair hooked in the right middle finger so it
sits between the right index finger and thumb. Repeat the process,
then shift the portion of the hair hooked in the left middle finger
so it sits between the left index finger and thumb.
6. Continue until you get the desired length of the braid. Make a
tighter, more compact braid by pulling the middle section into a
horizontal line as you pull it to the right or left. For a loose,
elongated braid, simply shift the middle section to the right or
left, letting it remain in a vertical line.
7. Tie off the ends with a covered rubber band. Add a bow or
barrette when it's necessary.
Tips:
1. Pull the parts of hair as evenly as possible so the tension
remains consistent. If the tension is tighter on one side, your
braid will begin to twist to one side instead of lying flat.
2. Practice and be patient. It may take some time to discover your
rhythm. If you're braiding a young child's hair, ask that she keep
her head as still as possible. Give her a hand mirror so she may
see any work you've done to her hair.
Warnings:
1. Avoid pulling too hard, as this may lead to hair fallout or
breakage.
Braiding the back of your wwn hair
Steps:
1. Style the front of your hair, including bangs, wisps and
tendrils,before you begin. Divide tangle-free hair into three even
sections.
2. Lift your left elbow to shoulder height and make a thumbs-down
fist around the left portion of hair. Do the same on the right side,
letting the middle portion lie against your spine.
3. Extend your left index finger and hook the right section of hair.
Pull it in front of the middle section, letting it slip completely
out of the right hand. Grab the middle section of hair with your
right hand, pull it to the right side, then resume the thumbs-down
fist position with both hands.
4. Extend your right index finger, hook the far left portion of hair
and let it slip completely out of the left hand. Shift the portion
of hair in your left hand into a thumbs-down fist, then free up the
left index finger. Make a thumbs-down fist with your right hand,
then use our left index finger to hook the far right portion.
5. Continue the process until the braid is complete. To braid very
long hair, you may have to free a hand to pull the portions through.
Secure the developing braid by pressing your knuckles into it as you
shift your hands for the next cross.
Tips:
1. Experiment with different hand positions. You may discover a
technique better suited to your individual style.
2. Braiding will become much easier with continued practice.
Tips in general:
1. small knots will cause you problems down the road. If you have
very long hair, be sure to comb the unbraided hair routinely as you
work, including the ends of the sections of hair that have already
been braided.
2. Begin every braid by making sure hair is as smooth as possible
and entirely free of even the smallest tangles.
3. Before beginning to braid, be sure to remove any rings or
bracelets that have prongs or catches that might get caught in hair,
as these can easily undo all your work.
4. Practice and be patient. It may take some time to discover your
rhythm. If you're braiding a young child's hair, ask that she keep
her head as still as possible. Give her a hand mirror so she may
see any work you've done to her hair.
