SO, now that you all know how to do a 4 strand braid, here's how to put it in a hair do with a french braid! This is a great style for long hair, but you could work in a shorter length as well.
I really love any kind of braiding done up by the face, and I know I do styles similar to this often. BUT what can I say? I like it! So for this hairdo, I parted off a side part to the crown, and then crosswise down to the ears, and clipped off the back. And of course, I worked with wet hair.
I began french braiding, angling it toward her ear.
And I continued the braid down far enough to reach back into a ponytail. You could also join the two side braids down underneath the ponytail if you like.
Same french braid on the other side.
Next I combed back all the remaining hair into a low ponytail,
and brought in my two side braids.
Then I did a 4 strand braid in her ponytail!
Put in a cute bow, and she's done!
