- [Together] Hi guys!
- It's Mindy and Rylan
and today we're gonna show you how to do this
awesome 4-strand French braid pin back,
which is a fantastic hairstyle for those quick
back-to-school mornings that we're all
just about to face again.
Now, if you love all of our videos

And, let's get going.
To begin I did a side-part on her,
like a deep side-part.
And then I parted behind her head
about an inch above her ears and then I stopped.
I have sort of this rectangular shaped section.
I'm gonna take the rest of her hair
and just kind of secure it out of the way
so that it doesn't get intermixed into our braid right now.
I'm gonna go back up to the top
and I'm going to just grab a little piece
of the top hair here.
I'm going to break that into four pieces.
So one, two, three, and four.
So now you have your four strands
that you're going to be working with.
I'm gonna number them like this,
one, two, three, and four, from left to right.
You're gonna take piece number one
and go under number two and over number three.
Then you're going to stop for a minute.
Then you're gonna go to this piece, number four,
and it's going to go over number three
and under number two.
So you're just switching all the different hairs
into different locations.
But essentially if you just remember that this side,
the left side, is always going to start by going under,
so it goes under and then over.
And the right piece is always gonna go over and then under.
It'll be easy.
So this outside piece, you're gonna pick up hair
and add it in to that little piece right here.
Now remember this one's going under,
so under number three, over number two,
and then we stop.
Pick up hair and add it in to that outside edge.
This one goes over all the time.
So it goes over and then back under.
Like that.
And then we stop.
Add in hair, it goes under and then over
and stop.
Add in hair and this side goes over,
and it doesn't really matter how your fingers
choose to hold it as long as you're getting
that same pattern going, that same repetition.
Now what you'll start noticing is that this strand
right here, number three, it just interweaves,
it never goes to the outside.
All of the others end up falling to the outside
at some point and getting more hair added in
but this little one doesn't.
So you'll start seeing this little ribbon
of hair going through.
(fun music)
Now when you get to this point,
I've run out of hair to pick up and add in,
so I'm just going to start doing
a regular four-strand braid.
Again, I'll show you right here.
I have my four-strand, one, two, three, and four,
and it's the same pattern.
Under and then over, then this outside piece goes over
and then under and then under, over.
So I'm gonna get to there and I can see that piece
in the middle, I'm about to lose it.
You can see it's getting really short.
I'm going to secure it with an elastic right here
and then release the rest of her hair and pin it back.
But before I do that I want to make it really pop.
You can leave it like this, it's nice and tight.
But I actually like to go back and pop that outside edge
right here by pancaking that top piece
like this,
so that it really over-accents that top edge.
And this is just personal preference.
You don't have to do this if you don't want to.
Then I'm going to just lift a little section
of hair right here.
This is why I leave a little piece down by their ears,
because I find that it just looks softer,
more natural looking.
Take a couple bobby pins, turn her so you can see.
And make sure I cross them.
Help hold that in place,
and then let the hair fall over the top
to help hide those bobby pins for us.
And we are done.
Final spin.
- Bye guys.
