Learning how to Braid your own Hair is easier said than done. It requires a lot of practice, just like applying winged eyeliner.
TikToker Kendall (@kendallkiper) is breaking down the steps of hair braiding so that you’ll be able to master it too.
First, she shows her followers how to do a normal three-strand braid. Start by dividing your hair in half, then separating one side into three even sections.
The section closest to the front of your head will be called section A. The Middle piece will be C, and the strand at the back of your head is section B.
The A and B pieces of hair on the outside will always cross over on top of the middle part, C.
The thing to remember is that once you cross an outside strand over the center piece, it instantly becomes the new C. So if you cross section A to the middle, A will become the new middle, C.
After you have braided all the way down to the end of your hair and tied it off, work on making your braid look thicker and fuller.
Go back through each piece of the braid and gently tug them apart. Now your hair will immediately have some more volume! Repeat these steps on the other half of your hair.
In the next video of her braiding series, Kendall demonstrates how to French braid, which is much trickier than a three-strand braid. To start, divide your hair in half, just like a regular braid.

You can tie off (or braid!) one half of your hair to keep it out of the way as you work on the other half. So on one side of your hair, grab a section at the front of your head.
Separate it into three strands and braid it one time. Next, take A and B and cross them over C, then stop.
This part is where it gets confusing. Before crossing section B over to C, you need to grab an additional piece of hair from the rest of your head.
Whenever you cross an outside piece over the middle, you need to add more hair. Keep doing it until you reach the nape of your neck. Don’t get discouraged! I cannot stress enough that this method of braiding takes a ton of practice.
Once you reach the nape of your neck, make sure you keep the braid super tight, or else you’ll be left with a little pouch of hair at the back after finishing up. Then, for the rest of your hair, continue braiding it like a normal braid. At the end, again, go ahead and loosen it up for a fuller look.
Over time, you will become a professional hair braider; I have no doubt about it!
