Surprisingly enough, four-strand braids are not hard to make. You just need a little practice to create real masterpieces. Such braids are suitable for all types of hair. In fact, women with fine locks might appreciate them even more than girls with thick hair.

Braids with four strands look more voluminous than regular French or fishtail braids. Meanwhile, they can keep the hair looking neat and stylish all day long.

How To Make Four Strand Braids

While these braids might look complicated, they are easier than you might think. You only have to make a few simple steps to create the hairstyle of your dream. Here they are:

1. Separate your hair into sections just like you would for a French braid. The only difference is to take 4 strands instead of 2. Let’s call them 1, (farthest from your head to the left), 2 (next one toward your head), 3(next one after the 2), and 4 (farthest from your head to the right).
2. Start braiding by moving section 1 under section 2. Now the 2^nd section is on the left and 3^rd section is to the right of the 2^nd.
3. Go on by passing the 1^st section over the 3^rd This way section 3 is on the left while section four is to its right.
4. Pass section one under the 4^th This way section for is to the left and the 1^st section is closest to your head. The first weave is done.
5. Continue going through steps 2 to 4 until you wish to stop braiding.
6. If you want to add the braid more volume, slightly tug at the strands after the braid is done. The more you tug, the looser it will look.
