Four Kinds of Four Strand Braids, and How to Do Them on Yourself!

[@c45magnum39]

BOOM!! Great video. I’m a single dad and watched the video and then put it right into action and my daughter hair looked so tight. Thank you for the braiding for dummies 101 it is exactly what I needed

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

I've always loved the 4 strand round braid, though I rarely take the time to start it - usually I'm in a hurry to braid my hair, and I know most people won't appreciate it... although typing this out just made me realize I SHOULD take the time to do it for myself.

[@amydelaforce7828]

"All the strands will stay separate from each other" Have you met my hair?

[@moonshadow_walker2192]

Same. My hair is too tangly to stay separated

[@paulinamorales8854]

@@moonshadow_walker2192 I used a bit of hair mask that works as leave-in conditioner to be able to work the separate strands :) my hair is wavy and frizzy as all hell! That made it way easier though

[@Umarluch]

This might to look funny but thanks to you I have guided my wires in my electronics :D

[@minagica]

YES! Knowing how to braid is useful for much more than just hair styling :D :D :D

[@oioionionone]

I second this, made a beautiful braided headphone cable with paracord today, better than the one I paid £100 for last week

[@aabbas802]

oooh that's a great idea 💡 💡

[@ameliamoore8417]

I always have to have my hair braided for work (or in a bun) and this has given me so many more opinions!!! You have no idea how excited I am!

[@wtf2612]

I'm sitting here refreshing my locs and I am working with 4 locs per braid and I KNEW I could make a 4 strand plait but not HOW TO. thank you! I'm loving it!

[@Aritul]

Furred Vines How did it turn out?

[@williammurley1800]

This is probably the coolest and most informative channel I've stumbled upon on KZbin. Thank you so much for what you do it really brings me closer to my Celtic heritage.

[@chelseab5467]

I tried the Round braid and got it first try. It really does help when you just feel it and not look. Thank you Silvousplaits!!

[@JKFritz08]

This video was a godsend!! I've got long hair and wanted a flat braid to sleep with. The first braid is perfect and looks pretty too!! Thank you!!

[@Darieee]

I've also used this to braid some cables! Thanks!

[@Severa25]

Thank you! My wife and I needed to learn this braid for rope! Awesome and easy instructions!!!

[@berkleypearl2363]

Or if you’re a crappy braided like me you can accidentally make them all at once because you forget which order the strands are in lol

[@sanjanabhat5032]

LOL😂😂😂this made me laugh so hard idk y

[@thisdudeactuallysaid9711]

lmao

[@moonshadow_walker2192]

Yup. Crappy braided squad

[@areyoucereals]

Yes! I've accidentally done a kind of 3D braid when I gather hair (like, against the head) 😂

[@amelievandecasteele4998]

Maybe if useful i use another method of remembering. I say the pattern out loud. First braid (start at whatever side you want): over, under, over, switch braid, over, under, over, switch,… Second (start at whatever side): over, under, switch side, under, over, switch side,… Third braid (start at whatever side): over, switch a braid sideways inner, over two, switch side, over, switch a braid sideways inner, over two, switch side,…

[@fanneyjanssen]

When I first found your videos, the first thing I thought was.. you look so much like Sansa Stark of Game of Thrones! Especially with these hairstyles that you do. And then I scrolled down and expected to see tons of comments about that, but no one seemed to have told you before! So maybe I'm the first ^_^ I've become a big fan of your channel.

[@silvousplaits]

Not on this video yet, but on pretty much every other video I have haha

[@aditibansal1777]

Oh my god! Yesss she does looks like Sansa stark AND she has red hair too 😳

[@lilywei7388]

Just did the last braid. It was super easy to do with your instructions. I just paused the video after each step, and was able to quickly understand how to do it. Awesome video! Thank you so much for posting! Just subscribed. :)

[@cognitohazard3]

this is like the clearest and most well-explained braiding video i've ever seen

[@stevewatson7454]

Perfect. Just what I needed to braid lengths of four individual wires into a flexible loom to keep them tidy. Many thanks.

[@unfabgirl]

I've loved getting all of these new videos, but I am loving that you are getting into more difficult level stuff.

[@anaorellana91]

best channel ever. I've been trying to learn how to do different braids but never found a nice neat tutorial like yours thanks =)

[@elisakrippner]

Really great tutorial, the girls loved their hair! Thanks

[@Rosannasfriend]

The last braid was the one that was truly done differently from the first. I appreciate this though!

[@genner-vincenthodgson5177]

I was doing a twist out braid but it was getting a little annoying to sleep on(though my wife said I reminded her of Khaleesi with all the braids), so I did the first four strand braid with four twist outs on each side and it looked messy but really badass at the same time! Oh, a tip to remember when doing that braid if you're having difficulty is go from your chest to your shoulders, and weave it under and over and under the strands(in that order). Then do it again with the next stand that became closest to your chest and so on

[@danielarosa670]

Brilliant tutorial! Clearly explained and straight to the point. I tried the first braid demonstrated today and accomplished in the first go and within minutes. Quick and easy. Will start using this braid much more. Love how it makes my hair appear more thicker. Will be trying the other braids out! Thank you for making this video.

[@ruposhirose]

This was the only braiding tutorial that I could actually comprehend. Thank-you z

[@robinwolf7856]

I love the round/3D braid. It's amazing!

[@Drachenrose97]

Actually I do a slightly other method, when I do the last one: - 4 even strands - take one outer one, let it pass 2 strands *underneath* and let it pass 1 strand back *above* - same with the other outer strand - repeat. For example: Outer right - move it *underneath* 2 strands - move 1 strand back *above* to the right. Outer left - move underneath 2 strands - 1 strand back over to the left. Same result, turned out a bit easier to learn for me. :D

[@tlojewelrylove]

The transverse braid is DEFINITELY the EASIEST!👍 Always repeating the same moves from the same side couldn't be easier; however, I LOVE the appearance of the round braid. I think that one will take some (or a lot!) of practice for me to master but I have plenty of rope to practice with. 😁 Btw, you have the most beautiful red hair! ♥️😃 When I was a little girl, I never thought my red hair would be something I would miss when I entered my senior years because I was severely teased about it but now that its vibrant color has faded, I do miss it terribly.😩 Anyway, thanks for the 4-strand braid lessons. 🙏😍 You did an excellent job!👍😊

[@mireah]

managed to do the first 3 braids easily (well, relatively so) And now feeling proud of my self as I've managed to do that last one too!.

[@margaretalbrecht4650]

I saw that first braid back in the 1990s, but I never found instructions on how to do it. Can't wait to try it.

[@tammygurl64]

Wow, the slide-up braid was a cool surprise. 💜👍 I think the 1st one will be easiest. I really liked the 4th braid style. I've only ever done boring 3 strand braids other than some "attempts" at a nice looking French braid on my daughter. LOL! Thanks for sharing this. I may actually try one of these. 😃

[@sharonkour9721]

Best video i have seen for four strand pleats very educational n well put together thank u i learnt from u in such a easy way thank you so much

[@MrBolec91]

You are some kind of braids artist :D nice job.

[@julidrevezzo]

Thank you for this. I have been trying for the first version of the braid for a while and finally got it thanks to your video.

[@eleanor7]

I have finally sorta gotten my hand on the first four strand braid. Since my hair is frizzy and likes to cling to each other it's hard to stay separate. I have found separating them into two braids instead of one helps me control the hair better. So that I can practice on that and improve with moving on to bigger amounts of hair.

[@kristenblack3930]

love that last braid! (I knew the others, but this one is new to me)

[@madisonbarth1325]

Kristen Black it was the opposite to me

[@toasterchild]

That rope braid is awesome! I can't wait until my hair's long enough again, haha. Maybe I'll try an iteration with small pieces. Thanks for the tips with all the braids too.

[@toasterchild]

Sorry, the round braid, I mean!

[@TheWonderpup6]

Aw this is perfect! I was having trouble with the four strand and my mother couldn't visualize it at all but wanted to learn. I'm gonna send her a link now.

[@mariyabajwa1388]

hahahahahaha, it took me so long to get the first one! But I eventually got it and it looks BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much!

[@Feline0o91]

I always confused the first and the second braids, now I finally see the difference!

[@rockclimbing3844]

4 is my favorite, Round braid. I am excited to grow my hair out again. Thanks

[@theresapizza]

Whenever I see your more complicated styles my first reaction is "No! Not doing it!" Then I practice it four or five times and get the hang. Lace rope braiding took a long time. 💘

[@roseappleberry]

took me a while to get the hang of the last one but i got it! i like to braid my hair and put it into a but to keep it out of the way and reduce damage and it looks so gorgeous!

[@LilyIkova]

I love all of those and cannot wait to incorporate them in some of my daily hairstyles! Thank you, you're awesome

[@christiannemclaverty5836]

This is such a clear tutorial, thank you☺

[@sammer-b]

Your explanation is clear. I like it.

[@makeupboss9812]

I’m pretty good at 3 strand braids, these look a little more challenging. I could try it , wouldn’t hurt. That second braid looked like a “ hook braid “ - really pretty. Thanks for the ideas- sometimes I braid my hair for work.

[@EconaelGaming]

Thank you! We need those basics tutorials!

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

Beautiful ❤️ over,under,over. Got it!

[@manueljonathancaceres1265]

Thanks for the explanation!! This is gonna be very useful to create new pattern on my survival cordage manual.

[@naomiagatha8979]

I'm at quarantine and just searched hair styles vid so i can learn it to spend my boring days Good tutorial btw I love it

[@Isobibbel]

omg! the 3d braid is such beauty i need to grab a friend to try this on!!!

[@incarceron1]

You explain this so well, I struggled with none of those ! Thank you ^_^

[@ditzpangilinan]

Thank you for the clear explanations and demonstrations. I'll be learning these as much as I can! :)

[@eviaspropotamiti6956]

You explained it like a pro, thank you for the video!

[@canyoncastletwig]

I love the braids they are so elaborate!

[@tlojewelrylove]

PS - the slide up braid is very cool! ♥️♥️♥️

[@SummersOfficialPage]

This is so clear! Thank you!

[@oliviamcneil3101]

I love to do the first braid, I sometimes even do it as a French braid.

[@stx11uh73]

Omg thank you! All the other tutorials I have watched have not worked because the hand movement was to fast or there they showed how to do a four strand braid on another person’s head which is a problem to me. So ya thank you so much!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😀😀😀😀

[@britzel8014]

This is not that hard

[@heatherg1949]

ah i was suspicious of this. sometimes my (4 strand) braids turn out differently than other times. now i know exactly why 🙂

[@nishii_-jk1fv]

I love it !!! Thank you for this video!!!

[@Pandore29]

I love the first and last braid :) the look is simple and nice

[@raynesorrells1245]

Love these tutorials. Gotta be honest tho, what finally made me sub was when i noticed your chanel name and it's hilarious play on words

[@silvousplaits]

I appreciate a person who appreciates good puns

[@Uhhhhhhhhhm]

I feel like im missing something very obvious so what's the pun

[@raynesorrells1245]

ピーパソンフラフィ S'il vous plait (si fu play) is the french word for please and plait is another word for braiding. The t in the french word is silent as opposed to the t in plait (not silent) but besides that the two words sound very similar. I thought it was funny.

[@prue3845]

I've never been able to do much past a simple 3 strand (I can french braid on other people). Now I have 3 new braids I can do on myself ^^

[@kbsongy]

Your tutorials are GREAT! I would have never thought I could do this, but aside from the cramps in my hands it's actually not difficult! THANK YOU!!! (The pushing upwards didn't work, though. My hair is VERY thick, could it be that?)

[@hannahburgdorf]

Thank you! Also, I'd love to see French/Dutch versions of these, too, but I'm not good enough at them (yet) to try. Maybe you could do a video showing such variations?

[@msozs]

you are so good at explaining stuff, if you were my high school biology teacher life would have been very different🤣

[@Xaforn]

Ooooooo this could be amazing for a wedding!

[@Haluna11]

[@KiahSilverdew]

Great explanation and Congrats on your book!

[@anacarolinafrizzeira3543]

Seriosly brilliant tutorial! I've always tried four strand braids and always failed 😔 but with your video, for the first time, I totally get it! thanks a lot for doing this video 😁

*laughs in wavy hair that goes frizzy*

[@billyandrew11]

would love some suggestions for male LARP hair styles you can do on the side, stuck rocking a 3 strand side braid

[@wessexmermaid3524]

This is brilliant - this is the first time I have ever actually understood where my hands are going for a four strand braid - thank you so much! I have a question though - when you are moving the braid from the back of your head over your shoulder to carry on down the length, where do your arms/hands go? I seem to be utterly incapable of doing this without turning into a tangled mess of arms and hair that all seem to be trying to suffocate me! I thought about how I do my English braids and turn them, but I tend to go much further up in the air than I can manage with the extra strand in this one. Help?! (For reference, my hair is thin and fine (=fluffy tangles!) and about BCL) Thank you!

[@mckennadodson8617]

Your hair is beautiful!!

[@erinbathie-moore8478]

The round braid looks like a chain. Cool

[@junaborah6956]

Thanks for this video really easy to understand 😀😀

[@allatgoddess8961]

Every har do is splendid! As your series did Ancient South American hair styles, what about doing Ancient Chinese Hair styles, too?

[@augustwogsland3309]

This is so cool!!! Thank you so much for this.

yasssss this really helped thankyou!

[@ingridbauer1249]

I love your videos! Happy New Year!

[@ritagein490]

That first one looked quite easy, I might actually to be able to recreate it!!! 😻👏

[@user-ug5hi6zn8g]

That's what I say to my self but when i try and recreate it my hair is just in tangles ☹☹☹

[@isabelbard853]

So cool! I wonder though if a four strand french or dutch braid is possible. It sounds sooo complicated

[@sweetnsourpotatoes3323]

I really enjoy your videos! I love the brading and history hair styles :)

[@The_Glorious_Goat]

That last one is the only one I've known, but I do it in a slightly different way. I was taught to bring an outer strand over the inner two, them back again under the closer inner strand. Then, repeat from the opposite side, and simply keep repeating. Over two, under one.

[@abbyedgerton9804]

Your vid was clear and understandable. Thanx!

[@joveriaansari1322]

I wonder how these basic types of braids change when you grow a jewfro. My partner grows a really bubbly type jewfro. Think type 3A curls, but in fro form.

[@kailahartford]

Ahh I finally get it now ! Thank you so much
