The African braid seems difficult to achieve, but it is in fact for all those who know how to make a simple mat. Taking a little the principle of the cavalier braid, but without starting line, the African braid is done more easily with mid-length hair. Girls with long hair can opt for this hairstyle as well, but then handling the locks may be more difficult as the hair can get tangled. If you have curly hair, let yourself be tempted by the African braid:by releasing a few fine locks around the face, you will obtain a pretty bohemian hairstyle!
To achieve this hairstyle, start by brushing your hair so that it is perfectly detangled. Impossible to do a nice braid with a big knot in your hair! In the middle of the top of the skull, above the forehead, select a fairly thick lock, which you divide into three equal parts. Start braiding with these three strands, first passing the right strand over the middle strand, then the left strand over the middle one. Before continuing the braid with the right strand, grab the strand that is located at the edge of your forehead on the right, then integrate it into the right strand that you use to braid. Do the same on the left and repeat the operation, gradually integrating new locks into the main strands. For a perfect result that holds well, tighten quite strongly when braiding. When the braid reaches the nape of the neck and all the side locks are integrated, finish your hairstyle like a classic braid. If your hair is very long, bring it forward to finish the braiding more easily, then hold your hair with an elastic. There you go!
