How to weave a 4-strand braid?
The process of braiding a four-strand braid is actually quite simple. Here are the steps:
- Divide your hair into four sections, one for each strand. Take the leftmost strand and cross it over the middle strand. Now take the rightmost section and cross it over the center strand you just formed. Repeat this process, alternating the strands.
- You can braid many different braids in many different places on your head this way. They can be added with various other types of braids and embellished with accessories.
