Here's a link to an easy two strand lace braid by Lillith Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPHEzUr5bWQ

As far as other tips:

Tip for doing a French braid: (using a one piece barrette or clip):
1) Detangle hair thoroughly
2) Make a horizontal part from the top of one ear, around the back of the head, to the top of the other ear.
3) Take all hair ABOVE the part, comb out gently. CLIP with a one piece barrette.
Now start the actual French braiding:
1) Make one complete cross over. Hold the braid with one hand
2) Take a thin section of hair from right and join it to the hair strands on the Right. Pinch the section. Then take it over and JOIN with the middle section. Pinch. Rake the strands!
3) Take a thin section of hair from the LEFT. Join with LEFT section. PINCH. Rake!
4) Repeat steps 2-3. Remember to Pinch and Rake each time you add a section
5) Braid to end. Fasten w/hair friendly elastic
Tips: Tension - don't braid too tightly
Angle - hold your hands up when braiding
Head angle - sometimes it helps to either lower your head or tilting your head back
Once you feel comfortable with braiding French and Dutch, try to do it w/o the CLIP.

I have several other tutorials (written) if you are interested. Been braiding my long hair for many years.

Hi Searius,
You need to read the forum rules under the FAQ tab on your home page-- which explains how you get more "privileges" the more you comment on other's comments. You can't edit anything until you have made a certain amount of posts on threads.

Hope this helps you! Welcome to LHC btw!
