2 Piece Chain Braid


This is one of the easiest braids to learn once you have mastered the basic french braid. (which I should probably include a tutorial of, too!) This braid is very similar, except using only two pieces. 

  • Step 1: Section the part of the hair you will be braiding into two equal parts.


  • Step 2: Tie a basic knot. You know, the one you learned in kindergarten to tie your shoes! If the hair is uneven or unruly, you might try wetting it or combing or twisting in a bit of pomade using your fingers to help the lock stay together.


  • Step 3: Add a small piece of hair from each side and repeat the process. The braid will naturally loosen (unless you've used pomade, which helps hold it into place) so i like to work with my fingers as close to her head as possible and re-tighten each knot as I go along.


This took me less then 10 minutes to do both braids! How did yours turn out?
