Four-strand braid

Gosto de fazer vários penteados, e ontem foi este. Simples.

Here are the steps:

1. Divide your hair into two equal sections. 

2. Take those two sections, and split each of them in two, so now you have four equal sections.

3. Take the section on the outside and pull it UNDER the section next to it, then OVER the next section. Repeat the opposite for the section on the inside: it goes OVER the section next to it, then UNDER the next section.

(I’ll break this step down a little more: Let's label the sections 1, 2, 3, 4, starting closest to your ear, then outward. Section 4 goes UNDER section 3 and OVER section 2 (it will then become the new section 2). Section 1 goes OVER section 2 and UNDER section 3 (it will then become the new section 3). Repeat: Section 4 goes UNDER section 3, and OVER section 2, and so on.)

4. Keep repeating these steps until you have reached the end. Then tie off with an elastic band.

5. Fatten your braid out a little so you can see all four sections clearly.
