Make a side part and take a small part of your hair. Divide it into three sections and start an inside out braid without adding any extra strands. A regular braid will also do. Keep braiding up till the very end and secure it with a clear elastic. Pull out some hair from the loops carefully. If you exaggerate with pulling out, you will get a kinda messy hairstyle.
Now we are moving to the second braid. Section your hair right underneath the first braid. Now we are basically making the same braid but this time you should add extra strands from the sides. Continue braiding along the hairline till you reach your ear. Then make a regular braid and secure it with a clear elastic. Don’t forget to pull out strands here too.

This tutorial will definitely come in handy if you have a busy morning.
