Step 1: Separate a strand of hair from the frontal-top part of the head and divide it into four parts- two thin side strands and two thick central strands (left and right).

Step 2: Take a thin strand from the right side and connect it with the left stand going over all the right strands.

Step 3: The thin strand from the left side goes under the thick left strand and connected to the right strand.

Step 4: Continue braiding but now picking up along small strands of hair. Separate the next thin strand on the right side, pick up a small strand from loose hair on the right and connect it with the thin strand on the right. Next, take the combined strands, pass it over the rest of the right strands and connect it with the left strand.

Step 5: Separate the next thin strand on the left side, pick up a small amount of hair from the loose part on the left and combine both strands together. Pass the combined strands under all left strand and connect it with the right side.

Step 6: Continue braiding with tieback from both sides until the edge hairline on the nape of the neck.

Step 7: Braid the rest of the hair in the same technique but without the tieback.

Step 8: Secure the braid with rubber band.
