Steps

1.

   Wash your hair normally. Towel dry your hair just a little, but it still needs to be wet! Do this at night.

2.

   Comb your hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to get out all of the tangles. Do not use a brush, as it damages wet hair.

3. 

   3
   Section off your hair. Take a small section from either side of your head, and clip the rest back with a large clip. If it is easier for you, use a rat tail comb to section your hair.

   Start braiding. Braid your hair into small, normal braids, starting from as high on the roots as you can get. Once you have finished the braid, tie it off with a small elastic.

5. 

   5
   Keep going around all of your head. Once you have finished a section, unclip hair and section again. Continue braiding your hair until you have made all of your braids.

   Go to bed at the desired time leaving the braids in. In the morning, take out all of the braids and gently run your fingers through your hair to flatten it a little. Use a light to medium hold hairspray if desired. Do not brush your hair.
