Braiding your own hair tends to be a daunting subject for those who do not know how to do so, but once you learn to execute this three strand side-braid, it is very simple to create time and time again. In order to braid your own hair with minimal difficulty, your hair should be at least medium length. You will also need a brush to smooth out any tangles in your hair, making it easy to work with, and an elastic to secure your braid. You must also know how to use a ponytail holder. Begin by brushing your hair, making sure to smooth over any bumps and tangles. For this side-braid, we will be creating the braid over our left shoulder. Because this braid is fashioned to be worn on over the shoulder, you want to part your hair to one side.
