Hi everyone welcome back to our YouTube channel I'm Anne and this is my little girl and we are
here to show you some more hairstyles today. We're going to do a multi-strand braid now
I know when people think of multi strands they panic a little bit, this one is just
in a ponytail so I'm not adding any extra hair and I've also got a really good tip, trick to show you
that helps you to keep all the pieces in order.
So using a piece of ribbon that's twice the length of the hair you're going to go through one of the
loops of the bobble put it all the way through so that the ribbon lays equally at the ends
and then you're going to separate the ponytail into three sections the reason I'm using these
bubbles is just to help you as you're learning the braid to keep the hair pieces together keeps them
separate and you can just pull the bubbles down as you go so start with them fairly high up and
it helps just if you use these colours you'll understand what I'm saying when I'm going through
it so you've got four pieces now when you do a regular braid you use three strands so you're
going to use three strands for a regular over over braid and then three stands for an under under
braid so now we're going to go over I'm going to take the pink strand over the green strand
and then we're going to take the white ribbon over the pink strand so that's like normal a normal
three strand braid so we've done over over on the left hand side so now we come to the right hand
side and so now we're going to use yellow pink and white so the yellow is going to go under the pink
and now the white ribbon is going to go under the yellow and you can see that I'm
just slightly pulling down those little bubbles as I go so that they don't get into the braid so
now I don't need the pink anymore so I'm going to use just the three strands on the left hand side
so now I want my green strand to go over the pink and I want my white strand to go over the green
pull those bubbles down slightly little bit don't need the yellow strand anymore
so now I've got three strands on the right hand side so take the pink strand under the green
let's pull that bubble down a little bit and I'm going to take the ribbon under the pink strand
and now I finish with the green strand I'm going to put the green strand out of the way
and move back onto the left hand side so now my yellow strand is going over the pink
and my white is going over the yellow and I'm going to repeat this process all the way down
and then if you want to you can just tease on those edges just to make the braid look a little
bit thicker a lot bigger than it really is so if you just keep sliding down those bubbles as you
go it just helps because if you're learning the four-strand braid and you're not used to having
so many parts you can become a bit of fingers and thumbs but just by having those bubbles on the
hair and sliding them down just helps you and just remember that the three strands that are on the
left you're going to do them as an over over braid and then the three strands that are on the right
you're going to go under under so the white ribbon has a lot to do because the white ribbon is used
on both sides so you go all the way down pancake it out and then just finish it off with a bubble
and then I'm just going back and just kind of tweaking it just to make it look nice and even
finishing off the clip and there it is finished really really pretty super simple it's a great
trick keep trying with those bubbles and then you'll be able to do it without the bubbles
so what did you think that trick it really does work doesn't it I hope you really found it useful
give it a go you just need three bubbles a piece of ribbon if you haven't got a piece of ribbon
you could just plait a very small piece of hair to be that extra strand and remember when you've got
those three pieces on one side you're going over like a normal braid then on the other side when
you're doing the three break three strands you're going under exactly she knows already she's a pro
