ReferencesAbout This ArticleArticle SummaryX To make side braids, start by parting your hair down the center with a comb. Once you’ve separated your hair, take about 3 inches of hair from the front-right side of your face. Divide the section into 3 equal portions. To braid the 3 portions together, cross the left portion over the middle one so it becomes the new middle portion. Then, cross the right portion over the new middle. Repeat this process, crossing the left and right portions into the middle, until you run out of hair. Tie the braid with a hair elastic, pin it to the side of your head, and tuck it behind your ear. Do the same with the left section of your hair to give you 2 side braids. For more tips, including how to do a waterfall or halo braid, read on! Did this summary help you?
