I want to recreate the style Tracee Ellis has below but I don't know how to french braid. I checked you tbe but there are way to many videos to pick from. Can anyone suggest the best videos, tutorials etc for french braiding to acheive this style?

Thanks

I know yours gonna look good .... are you gonna pin the pack up since you got all this hair, or are you gonna let it flow?

Im sitting here tryna figure that out now.

 

[FemmeCreole]

I think it would look really nice if after braiding it all the way down, you pin the ends up in a bun or something, right at the nape

same color too?

bought mine in NY

Yes, same color

I get confused on how to start it. Can someone help me get it?

When I do one braid down the middle, I start by taking a slice of hair, divide in thirds, braid under-handed, once that slice of hair has just the beginning of a braid, I pick up a little more hair as I continue to braid.

I hope this makes sense!

 

[XenaX]

OK what I did was do one side and clip the hair a the base of my head. I didnt continue the braid but stopped there to let the loos hair hang, then I just incorporated the loose hair with the other braid on the other side.

Keep in mind I did not part and I havent done a FB in yearrrrrrssssssss.

Xena, that is the most beautiful way to finish a french braid I've ever seen!
