Divide your hair into three equal sections at the nape of your neck.
Take a small piece of hair from the outermost section and cross it over the middle section. Then, take a small piece from the other outermost section and cross it over the new middle section. Continue this pattern, alternating sides.
As you braid, gradually incorporate small pieces of hair from the sides into the outer sections before crossing them over.
Continue braiding down to the ends of your hair.
Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie.
Gently pull on the edges of the braid to loosen it and create a fuller, more relaxed look.
Notes
This hairstyle can be adapted for various hair lengths and thicknesses. For a more romantic look, leave a few strands of hair loose around your face.
