How to French Braid Hair
Is Braided Hair in Fashion?

Why not consider a french braid for your 80s party, or even, for almost any occasion?

I would love to be able to braid my own hair, however, it seems to take practice, and my arms get too tired.

Give it a go though, or ask a girlfriend, if they would mind braiding your hair.

Don't forget to tie it off with a scrunchy though!

You still see girls with braided hair occasionally today. I love getting my hair braided, and used to be fortunate enough to have a few friends who were excellent at braiding, and would braid my hair nearly every day in high school.

And, I have to admit, thanks to my great grandmother, I was a big fan of Days of Our Lives, where in the 80s, the women and girls were dressed beautifully and their hair was made up, often in a braid. I haven't watched the show for nearly 20 years, so maybe that still happens? My favourites were Jennifer Haughton and Kayla.

Anyhoo, I have found a quality ezine article on how to braid hair...

Here's How To French Braid Your Hair

Here's how to French braid hair. Wash your hair and dry it. Brush well to remove all tangles and snarls. Then follow this simple step by step process.

1. Brush your hair back.

2. Now take a section of the hair from where you want to start the braid and separate it into three parts. Like you would for a normal braid.

3. Make one cross of the normal braid by moving the right most strand over the center strand and then the left most strand over the new center strand.

4. Now transfer all the strands to your left hand, but take care that you don't mix the strands together. Put each strand in one separate slot separated by the fingers.

5. Pick up a strand of hair from the right side of the head with your right index finger or thumb and add it to the strand of hair that is now to the extreme right.

6. Now cross the right strand over the center strand.

7. Pull neatly.

8. Now transfer all the strands to your right hand. Again take care that you don't mix the strands together. Put each strand in one separate slot separated by the fingers.

9. Next pick up a strand up hair from the left side your right index finger or thumb and add it to the strand on the extreme left.

10. Now cross the left strand over the center strand.

11. Pull neatly.

12. Now repeat the process from step 4 to 11 till there is no more hair to add. Now simply braid the rest of your hair.

You are ready to tie your French braid.
