We like to part slightly off-center for this. on the heavier side, grab a section at your hairline. split it into three.
Start it just like you would a regular french braid.
Next add in a piece of hair from the top, still like a regular french braid.
Now skip the part where you’d grab a new piece from the bottom + keep braiding instead.
Then take another piece from the top + add it in.
Continue with this pattern until you have 5-7 sections added in.
Once you’re just past the ear, stop adding in new hair. Just do a regular braid + tie it off with a clear elastic like in the top picture.
