This video was very helpful! I was getting ready to give up but I found some hope with this. I'm finally starting to get a little better. One thing I want to suggest to beginners (like me): start messy! I tried being a little more sloppier and it let me focus more on the technique itself and not how neat and pretty it looked. Now, once I get used to how to hold my hair and grab sections, I can start focusing on being neat and precise. Just a thought.

[@DrakesNest]

So glad it helped!:)

[@alessandracassarino8418]

Drakes Nest how do you move it towards the middle of your head because when i do it it ends up on my ear. Do i have to do it tighter

[@DrakesNest]

You can keep it right on or head but kind of drag and guide it which direction you want it to go

Sorry I know it’s frustrating when you can’t get it. Maybe if you have a friend in person or hairdresser to ask?

[@Skyryder-uu6zj]

Maybe try to hold it at an angle more towards the back of your head, pretend to point at the nape of your neck. Practice adding different amounts. Let it be messy and not perfect until you feel better with the technique.

[@anyao.7405]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I tried following the instructions, and figured out that a french braid doesn't work for my hairstyle needs because all those strands don't stay put for too long with my hair type. From your video, I learned that pulling my hair downwards would result in a neater and less floofy braid. This improved my braiding knowledge and helped me produce a neater hairstyle. Super helpful. :)
