Step 10 / When the braid reaches the right side, switch hands again and continue bringing in hair from the crown.Switch hands when the braid reaches the back of the head to make braiding the hair a little easier. One trick that makes this part a little easier is to keep the braid as close to the head as possible. This helps minimize any bumps in the braid or along the top of the head.

Slide bobby pins into the braid to pin it in place. You can pin it where ever it feels loose. This helps them stay hidden a little better.
