What you see here might look complicated but it’s really quite simple. This hairstyle can be achieved by following these easy steps:
- Brush your hair properly and remove all the tangles from it so you can run your fingers through it in one go.
- Then, the next step is to section your hair. Start with the back part of your hair and take section, almost one inch thick, you can alter the size according to your liking. For the thicker bag braid, take a bigger section.
- Now, split that section into two equal parts. Make sure that the parts are even and the strands are facing downwards framing your face and not pulled backwards like in a normal braid.
- Pull a thin strand of hair from the outside of the right section and pull it over the right section, grasp it under the right section. And do the same for the other side. You should use thinner strands for a more intricate looking braid, here, they’ve taken thicker ones. Continue doing this till the end and secure it with a thin rubber band.
- Follow the same process for the second side braid, only this time incorporate small strands of hair and then moving backwards. Once, you’re finished with this, secure it with a rubber band.
