Learning to braid

[mooffie]

I just can't do it, I've tried a few youtube tutorials but I end up getting it wrong or it looking crap. How do people learn?

I think probably practice more than anything. Although saying that I still can't do French braids! Willing Guinea pigs to practise on helps also - my dds can't sit still for more than a few minutes.

You need to make sure you scrape the sections in strongly with a comb and pull it all tight into the plait as you go. It's much easier to get right if the whole thing is tightly wound in.

i'm considering buying a dummy head to practice on then learn to diy
