- Air dry your hair and then brush it.
- Pull your hair back and part it down the middle with a line down the center that runs from the forehead to the nape of the neck (or to the point where you want the braid to end). In this case, we will leave the hair loose, so our line ends right in the center of the head, at the crown of the head.
- Create a diagonal section and divide it into three equal parts.
- Secure each one with garters and then start weaving.
- Take the first strand (from the forehead) and divide it in two to pass it under the garter that holds the second strand.
- Secure with another garter.
- Repeat the last step with the second and third strands.

How to make braids attached to the head for men?
If there is a style of braids for men that is especially good, are the glued braids. The first step to make them is to separate the different sections of the hair. Remember that the shorter the hair, the more subdivisions will need to be made.
The most important thing is that, when integrating the new hair into the braid that we are weaving, they have to enter the middle lock. This will make the braid sit well against the scalp and be very neat.
