Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials
Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling comb to gently tease out any tangles in your hair. If you have curly or wavy hair, use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to blot excess moisture before starting. For straight hair, use a rat-tail comb to section off the two parts of your hair that you want to braid. If using elastic bands, make sure they are not too tight, as this can cause discomfort during braiding. Have a mirror in front of you so you can see what you're doing while you braid.
