How to Make Small Hair Braids in Men's Beards
- 1). Part the facial hair vertically along the center of the chin, using a beard comb.
- 2). Clip half of the beard back using a salon-quality hair clip, available at hair supply stores.
- 3). Section off a 1-by-1-inch section of beard hair, adjacent to the part you created and along the mandible ridge (the part of your jawline where the bone sticks out).
- 4). Clip beard back, other than the 1-by-1-inch section of hair.
- 5). Separate the 1-by-1-inch section of hair into three equally-sized parts, each next to another, as opposed for one on top of the other.
- 6). Braid the section of beard from top to bottom, using the common 3-piece braiding technique of crossing each side piece over the middle one.
- 7). Attach a small rubber band to the end of the braided piece.
- 8). Continue sectioning beard in 1-by-1-inch pieces, until you are satisfied with the number of braids. As you section the beard, continue to clip back the hair you are not immediately braiding.
