A criss cross braid is a type of hairstyle that involves braiding the hair in a crossed over pattern. The most common way to do this is by taking two sections of hair and crossing them over each other before braiding them together. This can be done with any type of braid, but is most commonly seen with fishtail or French braids. To create a criss cross braid, start by dividing the hair into two even sections. Then, take one section and cross it over the other, tucking it behind. Take the second section and do the same thing. Continue alternating between the two sections until you reach the end of the hair. Once you reach the end, secure the braid with an elastic band and you’re done!
