How to do a recessed braid
- Separate a section at the top of the head and divide it into three equal parts.
- Start by braiding the left side over the middle section and then repeat with the right side.
- Pull another strand on the left side and incorporate it into the strand of the braid on the left, restarting the round
- Repeat the same thing with the right side.
- Remember to always tighten the locks well so that the braid is firm
- Repeat the process incorporating all the hair until you reach the nape of the neck.
- Then braid to the end of the hair like a normal braid.
- Secure with an elastic band right at the end of the wires.
Tip: if you want to leave the braid with the thicker strands, loosen each section after it is done.
