Step by step 4 strand braids for beginners | DailyHairInspiration
Let's first define the 4 strand braid types. There is a basic 4-part braid, also called flat. It is easiest to understand conceptually. However, the result of such a 4-part braid can differ, everything depends on the way you weave the strands during the braiding process. For example, you can make a transverse four-strand braid, a chain-like braid or a sliding braid.
The second main type of 4 section braided hairstyles is called a rope braid. It is also surprisingly simple and, compared to the flat braid, has a rounded, 3D effect. And we can't help but mention the French four-strand braid and its reverse Dutch variant. They are for professionals, but practice makes perfect. Be patient, and in time you will be able to try them too.
Not to scare you, we'll leave the Dutch and French complicated braids for dessert and start with a tutorial of a simple 4-strand flat braid. A piece of cake, just follow the step-by-step guide carefully!
