How-To: Learn a Four-Strand Braid

It can be tricky to visualize how to do a hairstyle without actually seeing each step in action — just imagine trying to explain braiding to a pal over the phone! One of my favorite ways to switch up a traditional braid, which uses three strands of hair, is to use a woven, four-strand version. Trust me, it's not as hard as you may think. To help you get started, I created a slideshow and numbered each of the four sections so you could follow along from pictures and numbers. Stepping in as my latest hair model was a Sugar staffer with the longest locks of them all, geeksugar. Grab a pal of your own and get to braidin'.

Geek your hair is so long and thick! I have total hair envy. I'll have to log this away for when my hair grows back out.

Gorgeous hair (I love the highlights and how thick and shiny it is) but the braid just looks chunky and awkward to me.
