Step-by-Step Guide
Before we begin, make sure you have a comb or brush, some hair elastics, and a mirror.
Step 1: Separate your bangs
Start by separating your bangs from the rest of your hair. You can use a comb or your fingers to do this.
Step 2: Divide your bangs into three sections
Take the left section of your bangs and cross it over the middle section. Then, take the right section and cross it over the middle section. This is the beginning of your French braid.
Step 3: Add more hair to the braid
As you continue braiding, add more hair to each section before crossing it over the middle section. To do this, take a small section of hair from the left or right side of your forehead and add it to the left or right section of your braid.
Step 4: Keep braiding
Continue adding hair to your braid and crossing it over the middle section until you reach the end of your bangs.
Step 5: Secure the braid
Once you’ve finished braiding, use a hair elastic to secure the end of your braid. You can also use bobby pins to keep any loose hairs in place.
Step 6: Add some finishing touches
You can pull on the sides of your braid to make it look fuller and more voluminous. You can also use hairspray to keep your braid in place throughout the day.
Tips and Tricks
- Practice makes perfect. Don’t get discouraged if your first attempts don’t turn out perfectly.
- If you have shorter bangs, you can still French braid them. Just start the braid further back on your head.
- French braids work best on clean, dry hair. If your hair is too oily or greasy, the braid may not hold well.
- If you have trouble keeping the three sections of your braid separate, try using hair clips to hold them in place.
