Step 1: Starting with only hair on the top half of your head, part it into five separate sections that will each be French braided. The top middle section should be slightly bigger than the other four sections.
Step 2: Excluding the middle top. French braid each section backward, starting with the farthest two side pieces, until you reach the back center of the head. Finish each as a normal braid, securing with a clear elastic band. Repeat this step until you’ve completed all four side French braids.
Step 3: Start French braiding the largest center piece, while weaving in each of the four side braids, plus the sixth section of hair on the bottom half of your head.
Step 4: Continue the braid until you reach the end of your hair, then secure with an elastic band.
