6 strand braid

The 6 strand braid may seem like a challenge, but once you've got the hang of the technique, you'll see it's not so difficult. Tip: start with the 6 strand braid with microbraids. That way you can practice the technique without getting confused so quickly, as you've got 3 braids and 3 regular strands of hair.
Would you like to add a ribbon? You can, but the technique changes a little bit. A regular 6 strand braid uses the pattern over-under ; under-over-under (or under-over ; over-under-over). A 6 strand braid with ribbon (where the ribbon has to stay in the middle) uses the pattern over-under-over ; under-over-under (or under-over-under ; over-under-over). As you can see, you've got 1 extra step here!
