French braiding a toddler's hair involves sectioning the hair, braiding while incorporating new sections, and securing the braid at the end. Here's a simplified breakdown based on the video transcript provided:
- Start with a Section: Begin by taking a section of hair at the crown of the head.
- Divide into Three Strands: Divide that section into three equal strands, just like starting a regular braid.
- Begin Braiding: Start a regular braid with these three strands.
- Incorporate New Hair: After the first stitch or two of the braid, begin incorporating hair from the sides into the braid. Pick up a small section of hair from the left side and add it to the left strand before braiding it into the center. Repeat on the right side.
- Continue Down the Head: Continue adding hair from both sides as you braid down the head, ensuring you braid tightly enough to prevent the braid from unraveling.
- Finish the Braid: Once you've incorporated all the hair, finish with a regular braid.
- Secure the End: Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie.
