If you would like to learn multi-strand braids, this is the great look where to start! In this braid tutorial I show how you can braid to yourself 6-strand braid using 4 hair strands and 2 ribbons. This braid is the real showstopper and to me it's one of the most beautiful braids I know! This is hairstyle for long hair! It works well for school hairstyle or for party hairstyle. This braid is after all pretty quick to do, it takes about 10-15 minutes (this video is slowed in many points!) to accomplish this from beginning to the end.

How to secure ribbons to the scalp

I use for that two ribbons, knotted together and elastic. Take small piece of hair and secure elastic around it.

How to braid with 6 strands

Take 4 hair strands and 2 ribbons you've secured to your scalp.
Beginning the repeat this pattern:

1. Bring the leftmost strand under the next, add hair and bring the strand yet over the ribbon
2. Bring the rightmost strand over the next, add hair below and bring the strand yet under the ribbon
3. Cross hair strands in the middle over each others (right strand over)
4. Bring the right ribbon under to the middle
5. Bring the left ribbon over to the middle
6. Cross the ribbons over each others in the middle (right ribbon over)

Ribbon braid is easy way to practise multi-strand braids! Ribbons are easier to handle and control while you braid as they won't confuse as easily with the hair strands.

HAIR TIPS:

- Use little bit water for your hair so you can keep hair smooth and easy to control while braiding. Make sure you won't add too much water as pancaking turns out very difficult if your hair is wet. Hair must dry while you braid.

- Take time to practise this technique to the ponytail! This braid isn't too hard to accomplish for someone who can make basic braids but first you need to learn how to hold strands in your fingers! That may take little bit time and patience before you can manage it!
