- Hi, I'm Jeremy Clark, professional hairstylist and salon owner, and today I'm going to show you some tricks for reverse French braiding. So what's the difference between a reverse French braid and a regular French braid? The difference is a French braid has the braid on the inside or the underneath and a reverse braid leaves the braided hair on the outside so that it actually shows along the top and it's the same technique that you use in cornrows, we're just going to be using a bigger section. So to get a little hold and texture to the hair I'll be using the Garnier Fructis Full Control Anti-humidity Hairspray and I'm going to start out by just spraying a little bit on my fingertips, we'll work some of that through the ends of Sarah's hair. To do a French braid or a reverse French braid, it's usually best to have hair that at least comes just past the nape of the neck so that you have a point to attach an elastic or something to hold the braid in once it's completed but you can actually do it on fairly short hair. That being said, it's much easier to do it on hair that is longer and has some texture. So I'm going to start by taking just a large center section. I'm actually going to create a triangle parting just like that. This will be the start of the braid. Okay I'm going to divide that section into three. Okay so once you have the sections divided into three here, I'm going to start my braid by going over the top of the center section and just keeping each of the three strands separate and then going back over that and when you pull each strand over, you take it to the middle and it becomes the next middle strand. Okay so that establishes the braid and then this is where I'm going to change things up and from now on I'm going to grab a piece and I'm going to roll that piece underneath instead of over the top. I'm just taking about one inch thick or so pieces from the side and when I roll it underneath I'm adding it to that center section. Okay so you can see we have established the outside of the braid and I still have my three sections, so just taking about a one inch section, adding it into the strand on the right and rolling it right underneath so it becomes the central strand and then do the same thing on the left. Okay so you can see, once you get to the nape of the neck you just hold the hair close to the neck and continue that lifting and rolling each section under and you just do a regular braid all the way down and then you can secure it with an elastic at the bottom and then you can go back with your hairspray and just clean up any of the little flyaways and frizzies that you find. A braid like this looks really great on women with highlights, blond highlights, any sort of texture to their hair, any sort of texture to the color will really show off the braid nicely. And you can see how nice that looks on Sarah from the side. You can see from the front, the hair is nicely pulled back. It looks really clean but it's also soft and natural. It's an easy style to do at home. And there you go, there's a few tricks for reverse French braiding. I'm Jeremy Clark. Thanks for watching.
