How to make a dirty braid in great detail

1. Before braiding, separate the hair, comb the hair to be braided in an area, and keep the rest of the hair away from this area as far as possible to avoid interference. If necessary, fix these temporary braided hair with clips.

2. Now you have an area of hair for you to knit. Divide these hairs into three strands, A.B.C, which should be basically the same in thickness.

Hold these three strands of hair (note: try to braid your hair from the hairline). Now you have three strands of hair: left, middle and right.

4. Hold the left hair bundle and let it pass through the middle hair bundle from below, so that the original left hair bundle is now in the middle and the original middle hair bundle is on the right.

Now hold your right thigh and let it pass through the middle thigh from below, so that the original right thigh is now in the middle.

6. Repeat steps "4" and "5" two or three times from the outside in.

7. Now that your first three strands of hair have been braided, you need to start scratching the back hair. Cut a lock of hair from the left (note that the thickness of each lock is basically the same). Let this one be combined with the one in your middle to become one. Then put the left one in the middle from below. (See Figure 1 to Figure 4 for this step.)

8. Cut a lock of hair from the back right and let it meet the middle hair bundle to make a lock. Now put the rope from below to the right in the middle. Keep knitting until this braid is finished.

Note: keeping a finger on the scalp during knitting can ensure the smoothness and compactness of the braid.

Be patient. Beginners usually have to practice for several weeks before they feel comfortable braiding. Professional hairdressers Susan and Jill say that the secret of braiding a beautiful braid is not to think too many steps, but to enjoy braiding.

EB's personal experience:

Many black people can braid their hair with both hands and help each other, so braids can be removed more frequently, but we can't afford to go to the hair salon every day. Generally, this kind of hair can last for four to five days. Please be careful not to let your head rot in summer. It's not completely impossible to wash your hair. I sometimes mix ordinary shampoo with water and pour it on my head, which can alleviate the problem to some extent. Generally, hair can be braided when it grows to about 20cm, and the longer the hair, the less likely it is to spread out. If you sleep with braids at night, you can wear Adu Lager, which looks like stockings. Hehe, it can play a protective role.
