Four-Braid Masterpiece
Works on: Medium to long hair

What you�ll need:
Hair elastics
Bobby pins

How to:
Step 1: Create a side part in hair.
Step 2: Make two French braids (one on each side) starting at the forehead hairline and going around the edge of the hairline to the nape of the neck. Secure each braid with a hair elastic. (To learn how to French braid, watch this braiding how-to video.)
Step 3: Create a zigzag part down the middle of the remaining (middle) section to divide it.
Step 4: Create two more French braids with the rest of hair starting at the top of the head and going down to three inches above the nape of your neck. Secure with hair elastics.
Step 5: Twist the ends of the four braids into a low bun and secure below the two middle braids with bobby pins. (See photo A.)
