How to Braid Hair Easily: Three-Strand Braid
The most classic and basic way of braiding your hair is by putting it in a three-strand braid. This is a throwback to our childhood days when our moms would style our hair and we end up doing the same for our friends in school as well.

1
Divide your hair
To start, divide your hair into three equal sections. Make sure that there are no strands overlapping other sections.

Begin braiding
Start from the ear level. Take the left section and cross it over the middle section. Then, cross the right section over the new middle section.

Keep braiding
Continue until you reach the end of your three-strand braid. Then, tie the tips with an elastic to secure your braid.

Spray
Spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to give it more hold for long. If you want to widen your braid, gently pull the sides using your thumb and index finger.
Fishtail Braid
A sleek and dainty variation to the classic braid is the fishtail braid. This braid looks a bit more minimalist and grown-up compared with the cute but classic three-strand braid. This makes the fishtail braid a great choice if you’re looking for an easy hairstyle for a more special occasion and purpose.

Divide hair
To start, put all your hair on one side and divide it into two equal parts.

Cross sections
From there, take a small section from the outer part of your hair and cross it over to the middle part and do the same on the other side of your hair. Repeat the same process until you reach the end tips.

Secure your braid
Secure your braid with an elastic. Then, spritz some hairspray to smooth out loose strands and to give the braid more hold.
French Braid
Another classic braid that’s been a favorite since childhood is the French braid. This braid can be worn for different occasions and does a good job of making you look very well put-together and polished.

Secure your braid
Once your braid goes past your nape, continue doing a three-strand braid until you reach the tips of your hair and secure the end with an elastic.
Dutch Braid
If what you’re after is a more playful braided look, then we recommend trying out the Dutch braid. This hairstyle can be worn in less formal settings like daytime parties, vacations, and casual gatherings.
