This braid is unique as it sits on top of the head like the two
stranded rope braid. The reverse french braid lays across the centerline
of the scalp, and can begin anywhere from as far back as the crown, to
as far forward as an inch behind the forehead. Begin as high or as low
as you like.

|
|
Make sure hair is clean, free of tangles, and long enough to stay in
the braid. If the hair is too short or too layered it will fall out of
the braid.
|

 |
Take a section of hair in a pony tail shape from the temples to your
starting point, and hold it in a loose fist. Create three equal sections
by running your two fingers of the other hand from the base of the
ponytail to the end, sliding both hands down the ponytail together. |
 |
|
|
 |
Wrap the right section under the center section. Now the original
right section is the new center section, and the original center section
is the new right section. |
 |
|
|
 |
Then wrap the left section under the new center section. Now the
original left section is the new center section, and the old center
section is the new left section. This braid alternates between wrapping
right, then left, then right again.
|
 |
|
 |
Wrap the right section under the center section. |
 |
|
|
 |
Pull in a section of hair from the right side from the front towards
the braid. Add it to the section you’ve just wrapped under and smooth
the hair together. |
 |
|
|
 |
Wrap the left section under the center section. Pull in a section of
hair from the left side from the front towards the braid. Add it to the
section you’ve just wrapped under and smooth the hair together. |
 |
|
|
 |
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you reach the nape of the neck. Continue
to braid under, alternating right and left until you reach the end of
the hair.
|
 |
|
|
 |
Secure the braid with a hair band, or tuck it under into the nape and
bobby-pin it into place.
