This is what happens when you have long hair...

How to... Braid hair:

As any of the girls on the soccer team could tell you, I can braid hair. Before every game I would braid my and one or two other girls' hair. There are lots of different types of braids: regular, French, fish tail, and my personal specialty the "Dutch" braid which is really a backwards French braid.

1. Start with a small section of hair

2. Divide it into three equal sections

3. Take the middle section and pull it over the section to the right.

4. Take what is now the middle section and pull it over the section to the left of it.

5. Take what is now the middle section again, but this time gather more hair from outside the three sections and with the middle section, pull it over the right one.

6. Repeat step 5, alternating left and right continuously until all your hair is in one of the three sections.
7. Continue the braid without gathering hair until all the hair is braided.
8. Tie a hairband on the end

Now you know how to make a backwards French braid.
