This Woman's Hack for Creating 7-Strand Braids Has Been Viewed Almost 3 Million Times
I just learned how to do a French braid, so I admittedly do not give intricate braid tutorials on Instagram the time of day. But Camelia Katoozian, a beauty blogger from Seattle, is starting to make me think I could be a master at braiding. And I'm not the only one. Her recent Instagram video showing how-to on a 7-strand braid hack has been viewed almost three million times, proving that I'm not the only one who watched it and thought, "I could definitely do that."
Instead of painstakingly sectioning your hair into seven even sections, Katoozian's tutorial starts off with gathering your hair into one side pony. That's simple enough. From there, divide your hair into three sections like you're going to braid the whole thing. Drop two of the sections and braid the one left in your hand. Then, split the remaining section of hair in half and braid one of those sections. You should have two tied-off braids. With the section of hair left in the middle, you're going to weave it over and under between the two braids. Honestly, it's hard to explain, but Katoozian makes it look easy in her viral video below.
Even if you don't have luscious, long hair like Katoozian, this 7-strand braid hack video is definitely mesmerizing to watch. No wonder it's been viewed as many times as this brow extensions tutorial and this terrifying buzz cut.
