Easy Tutorial For Snake Braids

What you will need for the tutorial

• Parting Comb
• Shine ‘n Jam
• Hair clips
• Braiding Hair Extensions (optional)

Procedure

1. Part the hair into four straight lines/parts and clip them. 

NB: Make sure the top two parts in the middle are not too thick because naturally hair in the middle is a lot compared to the sides. Don’t forget to leave the edges.

2. Take the first part and section across so that you have at least six mini parts that will be used to create the snake designs. 

Use shine ‘n Jam to create clean and clear parts.

3. Begin braiding each mini part by crossing the outer strands over the middle. pick up a small section of hair from the same side and add it to the strand before crossing it over. Braid down and up around the mini sections until you create a long spiral braid. 

Be consistent with the size of the sections you add to maintain a uniform look.

NB: Always stitch from the outside of the braid all the way to the sections for a perfect snake braid. 

4. Repeat the same procedure with the rest of the three parts.
5. Lay the edges and rock the Snake Braids Style.
