QuestionHow long does my hair have to be for a successful 5 strand braid?Owls2014Community AnswerIt depends on the style you are doing. For a single 5 strand braid using all of the hair, you would have to have medium/long hair for the braid to be successful, but if you are just doing a five strand accent, perhaps in an updo, then it could be successful on shorter hair.

QuestionHow do I not get it mixed up?Rider KCommunity AnswerTry using your mouth if you're doing it yourself, or pretend you have one (three strand) braid, and then one strand moves on to the other two strands, and you have another braid. Try not to hold all 5 strands at once, or you could get all jumbled with your fingers.
