You can add some texturizing spray or mousse to give your hair some grip, especially if it's too silky.
Cross the right strand over the middle one, then cross the left strand over the new middle one. This is just like starting a regular braid.
Keep adding small sections of hair from the sides as you braid downwards towards the nape of your neck.
Repeat this process on the left side, adding a small section of hair to the left section before crossing it over the middle.
Keep the braid tight by maintaining even tension on all three sections of hair. This prevents the braid from becoming loose or messy.
As you reach the nape of your neck, begin angling the braid downwards towards the center of your head. This creates the classic French braid shape.
Repeat the process of adding small sections of hair to the right and left sections before crossing them over the middle.
Once you've added all the hair from the scalp, continue braiding the three sections all the way to the ends of your hair.

Once you've reached the ends, secure the braid with a hair tie. You can use a clear elastic or a hair tie that matches your hair color.
You can also use hairspray or hair wax to smooth down any flyaways and keep the braid in place throughout the day.
