Braids are perfect when you have long hair. It makes you look simple yet stylish and perfect for different occasions. You can make a simple or a fancy braid depending on your choice, but the first thing you need to do is to learn how to do a basic braid.

Here is a simple and easy 3-step guide on how to do the basic braid:

1. Tie your hair up in a ponytail and then separate it into 3 equal parts. Hold 2 strands in your right hand with your palm facing up. Hold the third strand in your left hand.

Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you reach the end of your ponytail. Secure the braid with a hair tie.

Spritz on some spray gel or hairspray (make sure to use it before adding any hair ornaments) to prevent your braid from developing flyaways throughout the day.
