French Braid - practical

The first plait we created was a french braid. I was very nervous to try this one as I have never done this style before. We were told to first practise on a part of the hair before moving on to the whole head.

I took a section of the hair and clipped the rest off.

To create a french braid, you have to create one normal plait at the top then when you next bring a piece over from the outside, you take a piece of hair from outside the plait into it to create the braid.

This is what my french braid looked like, I think it went okay for my first try but I definitely need a lot more practise for this style. I also would have liked the braid to have curved round the head, rather than going straight down so that is also something I need to work on but for my first go, I am happy with the result.

I then moved on to create this style on the whole head. I found this very hard, I took the same steps as when creating it on one part of the head but working with a larger amount of hair was quite hard.

This is what my finished style looked like. I wasn't too happy with it as it looked too loose and messy. I am going to keep practising at this style the most out of them all as I found this one the hardest.
