A sweet and super simple braid <3
I love braids (or plaits, if you're more comfortable with that term). They can be super elegant if you do them right and are the basis for many classy hairstyles.

I used a Barbie to demonstrate because my hair is too short to effectively braid.

Essentially, yes. It's at the back of the braid, which, would be the front of the head, to be technical.
The perspective is from the back :]

Hi, when you say "The back of the left/right section" do you mean from the front of the head? (Ie, you have 4 sections instead of just three for a normal plait?) Ta! Happy
