How to Create a 4 Part Round Braid

This page will explain how to create a 4-part round (as opposed to flat) braid.

Clip the upper ends of the 4 strands securely, you'll need both hands.

Start with the outer strand on the right-hand side.

Weave the outer strand (on the right) under the two middle strands, then back to the right over the second strand you wove under.

Repeat this "under two, reverse direction, over one" weaving pattern, starting on alternate sides (you'd start with the outer left strand next). After five or six repetitions you should see the round braid starting to take shape.

Secure the finished braid with an elastic band.

Warnings

• Trying to do this on your own hair is nearly impossible.
