Using your hair brush be sure to brush all the tangles and knots out of the hair.

Start from the bottom of the hair when brushing. This will help get the knots out more efficiently.

You can use detangling spray to help get the knots out.

Section and Braid

Grab a section of hair on the front side of the head. Run your fingers through the hair creating three strands of hair.

If you need to, practice holding the three stands of hair in both hands.

Then once you are comfortable holding the three strands proceed to braid. You can do a dutch braid or french braid.

Then repeat the steps on the opposite side.

Pancake the Braids

Once you finish the braid, pull the braid loose to make the braid look bigger.

Be sure to pull on the braid gently.

Then repeat on the other side.

Section the Hair and Twist

Section the top half of the hair, and use an elastic to hold that section of hair.

Once you complete that, start by pushing your fingers in the center of the half section. Then twist the hair over and under.
