  • Can do 1 french braid down the middle? If you can, then 2 is the same way, except you do one on each side. Part your hair equally down the middle and secure 1 side in a ponytail. So basically half of your hair is in a ponytail, and the other half is loose. Now, french braid the loose hair like this:

    This is the best way I can personally describe it (in my own words, not from a website)....

    Grab your hair like you're putting it 1/2 up and then with your thumbs and index fingers divide the "half up" section into 3 equal parts.

    Cross the left section over the center one, and then cross the right section over the new center one (which used to be on the left.)

    Now grab a section of hair from the left side of your head, and add it to the left section of the braid, and cross that over the center part of the braid.

    Then, you do the same thing on the right side - add a section of loose hair from the right side of your head to the right section of the braid and cross that over the center piece of the braid.

    From that point just repeat that process until the braid goes down to the bottom of your head and you run out of hair.

    Then you can continue braiding the tail into a regular braid and secure it.

    Next, take down the other side of your secured hair and french braid it the same way!

    It looks really tough at first by watching it, but once you practice you'll get the hang of it.

    Hope my directions helped! Kind of difficult to explain without showing you. It gets easier after practicing a few times. If you have any questions let me know ~Amanda

  • take a small bite of hair then... wait. Im pondering og a usual French Braid. Whats a double French Braid? Is it like two on both aspect? 'Cuz thats effortless. If no longer, no inspiration.

  • silly, you part your hair like you're doing pigtails but do french braids instead.

    at the top of where you are starting the braid, pull a piece like you would if you were just pulling half of your hair up. then divide it in 3 like you're doing a braid.

    every time you cross a piece of the braid, you grab a little from the side of your head it is starting on and incorperate that into the particular section of the braid.

    then, just keep going! good luck :)

  • If the video doesn't help maybe this will. But It is almost impossible to french braid your own hair. Get a friend and do each others.

  • Oh i can do it on someone else.

    all you do is start out with a little braid then

    you grab a piece for each three pieces and

    then you braid that then you add just

    a little more hair to each strand.

    its hard to explain.

    but im sure you could look up some videos

    online to show you how!

    :D

    hope i helped.

  • I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you looking for ponytail braids or french braids? Here are a few videos that might help.

    By the way, while it is not impossible to french braid your own hair (I do it daily), it is easier to do it on someone else, and the result will be neater.

  • Video helped me a lot. But, when doing pigtails, part your hair down the middle and do the braid for each side of the part individually.
