Zig Zag Braiding Tips - Zig zag braid planning

O.k., now were going to start talking about stylized braiding. When it come to stylized braiding, it's very, very important to plan how you're going to do it, how much hair you want in that particular braid, and which direction you're going to take it. We?re going to start, with a zigzag braid, because it's very simple, and you can either use the wide tooth comb, or the rattail. When it comes to this, first I start out by planning how much hair I'm going to want in this, and I'm going to want this braid to be very big, because it's going to go across this way, and so I part out, just to get the general section of what I want, and I'm just going to go ahead and leave this big comb in there, and then I'm going to use my rattail, just to get in, just a little bit more, and decided I'm going to go ahead and leave it very wide in the back, because it's going to zigzag all the way across. So, we keep that in there just, just keep pulling, and this doesn't really have to be straight, because it's not going to go along this edge. It's going to go here to here, here to here, so it's not very important. You just want to establish a ratio, and amount of hair that you're going to want to be in this total design, and you just hold it back, and then we can get started.
