Step 1 of 16

Start with damp hair

Step 2 of 16

Part your hair leaving the bulk on the side you want your goddess braid

Step 3 of 16

I like to section and pin up my natural hair so that it's easier to manage. Be sure to leave out the section hair you will be braiding.

Step 4 of 16

IMPORTANT: Detangle your hair using a tool of your choice. I like to use a Denman brush. The less tangles the easier to manage, braid, and style. This step will result in a more polished look.

Step 5 of 16

Rub in a small amount of coconut oil or any oil of your choice. This will help prevent the gel from flaking and provide shine.

Step 6 of 16

At this time I also detangle each section of hair I have pinned up and rub in coconut oil.

Step 7 of 16

Add a small amount of gel or at least enough to hold the style. I like EcoStyler.

Step 8 of 16

Gel back the hair that will not be braided to set in position and to keep out of the way.

Step 9 of 16

PLEASE BE ADVISED The next few steps assume you already know how to cornrow or french braid your hair. I will not provide details of that in this guide.

Step 10 of 16

Grab 3 small pieces of hair at the place you want the goddess braid to begin.

Step 11 of 16

Continue braiding until you are just beyond a quarter of the way around your head.

Step 12 of 16

Gently pull the goddess braid and any unbraided hair back into a ponytail position. Smooth any loose or fly-away hairs down with a little EcoStyler gel and your hand.
