5 Strand Plait

This one looks good, but you need to keep it tight while you plait, and it doesn't seem to work so well with thinner strands.

1. Take 5 pieces of hair
2. Take the one on the outside (either side) and loop under the piece next to it and over the piece next to that
3. Repeat on other side and keep repeating.

This last one is done with 2 stands instead of one to make them thicker; it made it a lot easier but there is no way I could do this on my own hair!
