Do you see it too? I redid my hair at least 5 times and got the same results... Help please! Tips would be great too :)

It happens to me as well! Try tightening it at the start, almost until it hurts and hair spray it every few strands.

It just looks a bit loose. Try pulling the strands tighter when you weave them, and don't take strands too far away from the braid. Otherwise your doing great! It just takes a bit of practice. c:

Maybe just start a different way if you haven't already.
for example: I typically start my braids (p.o.v facing me) by putting the middle strand over the right strand. you can try putting the middle over the left strand or even try out a dutch braid

I do agree with Colette though, tighten the braid as you're going

Thanks!! I don't know...I usually start it a different way each time lol but I will try to do that @Katrina

I think it IS a bit loose, hopefully I can fix this! @Colette

Thanks @Makenna I usually spray it and I will try tighter :)

That used to happen to me but what reallyyyyy helped me was taking smalle pieces to make my hair not look loose and hair spray in the end when I'm don with the braid.

That is not even a french braid
You are supposed to add hair to it as you go along
You can just call it a "braid"

But you need a little more practice.

I just can't do my hair in the morning,cuz my arms can't take it,they're weak I only do hairstyles pm :)

But I think it's because it's a hard position for you to braid on the top of your head lol:)but I like it like that,loose n casual...really pretty :)

Maybe it's your hair texture,I know how it is when I do on certain friend and on me,different each time,so sometimes you can't escape it lol.
