Now, it is time to separate your bangs, grab the hair at 2 -3 cm from your forehead. Then to make sure the line is even, brush the tresses forward.
These strands will create the braided section. It is also advisable to tie the rest of the strands into a ponytail until you finish with the desired hairstyle.
Later you'll be free to sport your hair either in an updo or simply let it flow on your shoulders.

When you're ready, grab the bangs and further divide it into 3 separate and even strands as if you would French braid the hair in the back.
Then, go on braiding the 2 parts on the sides, however, the one in the middle should constantly grab and incorporate the rest of the bangs, this way securing the braided section to the head.

Now leave the middle part follow its way and rather crisscross the tresses on the side further grabbing the additional strands. Do the traditional French braiding across your head until you reach the ears.

At this point you can either include the braid into the ponytail if you opted for an updo or you can simple fix it with a bobby pin at the back of your ears. This all depends on the length of your hair and the hairstyle you've selected.
