A braid is a hairstyle that may appear complicated but a simple braid is easy to master.

How to Braid Your Hair

First thing to do is to get your hair ready. Use a comb or a paddle brush to comb your hair back. Be sure that there are no tangles or snags. You can finger comb smoothing serum throughout first if you want to eliminate flyaways and make it look neater. If you have wavy or curly hair, you can braid it wet so that it won’t be so difficult. But either wet hair or dry hair will work.

Place all your hair in a ponytail. You can use an elastic hair tie if you want but it’s not required.

Keep going until you reach the end of the ponytail. Secure the braid with an elastic hair tie.

If you’d like to achieve this elegant and trendy style, start by putting your hair into two pigtails. The pigtails should be placed closer to the nape of your neck instead of at the top of your head. Once you’ve got your pigtails in, braid each of them and tie the braid at the bottom using a hairband.

The braid may come close to reaching the center part or it may reach past the center part, but it all depends on the length of your hair. Pin it in place using a two bobby pins and then grab the other braid, bringing it up to the top of your head on the opposite side.

If you’d like to keep it simple and cute, the side braid is a perfect choice. Start by brushing your hair to get rid of any knots. After removing the knots, tie your hair into a low side ponytail. Once your hair is in the side ponytail, you’ll want to start braiding it as you normally would.

To keep the braid in place, make sure to tie it tightly with a hairband at the bottom. Gently pull at the pieces of the braid in opposite directions with both of your hands. When you start pulling the braid out just a bit, it’ll make your hair look a lot thicker and fuller. Add a cute clip-on bow to the end of your hair or leave it the way it is without the bow, but don’t forget to add a decent amount of hairspray to keep your hair all in place throughout the day and night.
