Hello friends,

Thank you for following my posts!  Today I braided my hair in a French braid, using the 3-D box braid braiding pattern.  Basically you take four strands of hair:

1-2-3-4

Outermost 4 goes underneath 3, underneath 2, then flips up and over 2 to be placed in the middle of 2 and 3.  So now your strands look like this:

1-2-4-3

You repeat the same pattern starting on the opposite side.  So take strand 1, move it underneath 2, underneath 4, flip it up and over 4 so that it is now between 4 and 2.

2-1-4-3

Now to start French braiding, just add a little bit of hair to the outermost section before repeating the pattern.  I keep it straight by thinking, "Under, under, over...under, under, over..."


I hope this explanation is helpful, now for pictures of my braid :-)

Hello everybody,

Thank you so much for all the views and comments on my recent posts!  I'm so excited to learn these new styles of braids and share my versions of them here on my blog.  I think my next hair video will definitely be the pull-through braid :-)
     Yesterday afternoon I showed my Micronesian Girl friends how to do the pull-through and the 3D pull-through braids.  It was fun braiding someone else's hair for a change!  When we were done, the three of us had our picture taken together.  Then I took extra pictures of my little friend's 3D braid, so beautiful on her!  She looks like a princess <3
