You are an amazing teacher, it was easy to watch and even easier to learn. I am a professional cosmetologist for 25+ years and you broke that braid down in under 5 minutes!! It took my instructor in cosmetology school an entire week Monday-Friday 5* 8hour days; to completely confuse all of us before we just lied and said we got it!! When really we didn't. I just learned 3 different applications from THIS TUTORIAL and I wasn't at all confused, and now I won't forget it, so thank you!!
😂😂😂
I've watched other videos and they were confusing. Yours was very simple to understand. Thank You
Nice video. I appreciate seeing the three different weaves done sequentially and having them next to one another. It really helps to solidify the differences.
The first option!! It finally makes sense!! I’ve been looking to learn how to braid hair into a 4 strand braid and realized people using strings or yarn helped a lot more! Thank you!!
Not all vocal tutorials are helpful, but yours are great. You follow along in a very comprehensible manner. Thank you!
Thank you for this kind message! It makes me so happy to know that my tutorials are helpful ☺️
I agree! You are best you tuber for macrame! I must say I also watched u sky dive! You are so darned cute,! Thanks for sharing your talent..you are an excellent teacher! I may have the guts to sky dive now as well!

Most make one thing more complicated than necessary

Thank you for sharing your talents! You're a very good teacher! God bless you! ♥️
Omg this simplifies it so much, thank you!
So loved this straight forward close up tutorial. Very well done.
I taught myself this 4 strand hair braiding method, as a g child that loved to do hair- I’m 49 now. I’ve seen others start off differently, yet it still did the job. Thanks for sharing, because I’m refreshing my memory to start Braiding again.
Very well done tutorial! Thank you!
I'll definitely be coming back to this video to practice braiding my hair! Watching you do it with the chords made it so easy to understand! Wearing my hair in option 1 today. 😄
Thank you so much! The second braid was the perfect one for my project and I can't believe I learned it in a minute. You're a fantastic teacher.
So many other videos attempting to teach these braids do not come close to the ease and simplicity of your technique. I was going to give up on this until I was fortunate enough to run into your videos! Thank you
Amazing tutorial (Mashallah)! I've always wanted to learn how to do a 4 braid and never found anyone that could teach me in a way that is simple and easy to learn/grasp.. And now I've learned 3 ways at once! Lol Thank you so much! I also love the pace as well. It's not too fast or slow. Great job!
I agree...you are a great teacher..thank you
Thank you very much very neatly and clearly explained....
Clear and precise, just what is needed for a beginner, thank you!
Love the way you explained for the four stranded braid !!it was so clear with out confusion !
I came here to learn how to fishtail braid 2 lengths of paracord. Using 2 different colours olive and coyote for alternating chevrons, looks great, thanks a lot x
Best teaching I've seen. Thank you
Better than any of the chalah braiding demonstrations. Thank you!
Omg finally the light bulb came on. Thank you so much. Been wanting to learn how to braid for ages 🥰
OMG, you made it easy! I watched 2 other tutorials & their hands were in the way & didn't make it clear as you! Thanks!
Very helpful and easy to follow, not over complicated like other videos.
Hola ne encanta como enseñas, con mucha tranquilidad y se te entiende todo. Muchas gracias por tu trabajo de enseñar. Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
Thank you. I struggled for two decades figuring this out. 😍
Awesome, straight to the point, no fluff, well done 😊
Finally a simple to follow video. Thank you
This Tutorial is amazing!! You're so easy to understand and great at explaining. Thank you!!
Thank you!! Nothing against anybody else's video, but yours is the best for my kind of thinking. Love this video!!
OMG thank you. I'm braiding PC cables to manage slack. I've watched so many hair braiding videos but my hands do not understand. This was perfect!
Thank you for vocal tutorial, it really helped me to understand it :) you showed an old lady something new....Thank you again
Thank you very much.
You went straight to the point. Exactly what I needed.
You are awesome and teach well. Thank you....
You made all so much easy ty❤️✨
Excellent teaching too by the way! Thanks!
great video! you are so good at explaining things!! Thank you!!!
Very useful. Clear demonstration easy to follow
Wow. Finally the 4 strand braid explained so even I can understand it. Great video and just what I needed. I've used a 3 strand for years because I couldn't figure out the 4 strand. Thank you.
Great job Gray!
i checked out half a dozen other clips. You made it so easy to grasp!!
Thank You!!
Best tutorial ever!! Thank you!!
Thank you for a clear simple demonstration it ends a frustrating waste of time🙂
Well done video! Easy to follow and guidance I needed!! Thank you!
This was great! Thank you!!
Very helpful. I'm making a hand fasting cord and needed this!!
OMG they are all so lovely and helpful. Thank you so much
Yay! I’m really happy you found this helpful. Thanks for watching!! 💛
Excellent work,way of teaching is very nice.
Omg you made this so easy. Thank you
i tried theses out on my hair. so pretty!
I've been doing some knots from a book but the pictures are so small I fail so I'm doing well with stop vid and slow mo. I really like the right over left, right over left, left over right center two of the first method. A very simple explanation. I'll see about the other two ways to see if there is a similar easy plaiting mantra. Very cool, I tied my rope over a belaying pin to anchor them on my desk and completed all three, the under over under from the left and fishtail right over one, left over two, cool. Very nice close up display with no confusion (as I had with my encyclopedia of knots)
Thanks! 1st method is so easy to understand.
Fantastic and easy! Preferred 3rd. Thanks
Thank you very much it was really helpful I was trying in vain to do a braid with the brioche dough and now I can do it easily thanks to you
This was amazing, thanks a lott❤️
hi I use fishtail braid for my custom audio cable and it's work great. thank you for the video, it's really help me.
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. You are fantastic in all areas. The visuals are perfect. your verbal instructions are clear and easy to follow. The speed that you work is slow enough to follow easily but fast enough not to be boring. I can hardly wait to get my project started. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
This means so much to me, thank you!! 💛
I have been watching different people four strand braid their locs and could never get it. So glad I came across your video! Now I am going to try to do the 3rd method on my locs.
The first option is great♥️ thank you so much
Oh wow 😳
you just make it look so easy very nice all though the 2of the 3 is going to be my favorite all the weaves are wonderful I am sure it's all about practice
Thank you for sharing
Thanks mam I learned now I thought it's very hard but u explained easiest wasy
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us… you are a great teacher! I watched 2 other videos on the first braid before finding yours and I just couldn’t catch on until this video, so thank you again. If I had any suggestions, it would be to maybe use two colours… firstly it would help when following along and secondly it would allow us to see how it would turn out if we wanted to use more colours ourselves. 😀
Thank you so much for this 😌❣️
You made this really simple! Thanks for the tutorial my ponytail is abt to be really cute!!
Needed to braid 4 cables to keep the back of my tv tidy. This video really helped! Thanks!
Neat idea to keep cables neat. Didn't think of that
What a great idea!
OMG the last one was so helpful thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much, I never thought that I could do it🥺
Thank you!
Perfect video for what I need to braid. I'm making a shoulder strap for my cane, for when I need both hands I can sling my cane to my back. And when using the cane have the thin strap laying along the length of the cane, out of the way.
At first I folded up a small bunch of the each of the cords I'm using for each strand. Then noticed the bundles would get caught on each other. So, now I'm looking for short plastic tubes (like cigar tubes) to put the bundles into so they can flip around each other while braiding and not get hung up. The cap on the cigar tubes can be cut partially to hold the cord, yet pull it out with light tension. I'll edit this comment if i make changes to the "plan."
Thanks again for the braid options.
edit- It works. I drilled holes in the caps of the tubes so the cord I'm using gets a little friction. Fed my cord through the hole and filled the tube with as much as would fit in. I then put tape on each tube with a number to keep track of which belonged to which pair for braiding. If the hole was too big, I was planning to use contact cement to hold a pair of hook&loop 1/2" wide strips along opposite sides of the tube, extending off the tube an inch. Put the cord between the strips and squeeze for tension. Haven't needed to do that yet.
Thank you.I get it now 😊
Thank you!!!
Soo easy to understand..... Thank you ma'am
Thank you!!! I knew there had to be some explanations that would make sense of this in my head... trying to just look and copy was not working. Failed repeatedly until I worked along with your video. :)
Omg finally
You’re awesome
Ty for making it so simple 😊
Thanks so much
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Best ever
finally a 4 strain braid that I can follow... These braids annoy meXD but now I will get there haha
I learned this when I was eight yrs. then forgot how. Am in my 70s and designing 2 side panels of flat braids to increase a dress size.
I made a simple doggy toy by braiding 4 old pieces of cloth. I was following other online tutorials but accidentally cut 4 lengths instead of 3 😢 this tutorial saved me. Thanks!
Didn't know the other methods. I do right to left over under or 4 strand round braid: behind 2 over one. Thanx I,'ll try this out.
This is great . i made a dog leash with four strips of rope using this method.,thanks.
Agradecida por ensinar.
Thank you for doing this slowly! All the other ones I’ve tried to watch they are just showing off 😅
I make macrame jewlery and wanted to cloce a bracelet with 4 strands.
The way you show everything seems so easy.
Thanks a lot!!❤
Can you please mention the size and type of the yarn used? I will be using cotton yarn or macrame yarn. Can you also advice on how to wash cotton yarn? Thank you in advance.
Gray, I want to make a very long braid, 4 meters long, probably about 13 ft long. My strand are tangling just a few inches into the braid. How can I keep them untangled with such long strands. Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks
Antonie Ziegler I did this with 15ft cables. I let them hang down the side of my stairs and braided with everything hanging vertically. If you have this option, it'll help to keep the unbranded part untangled.
I have long hair n I’m having trouble doing this. I’m putting a bun up in front so that I can practice
I have one question: Which design is best for working in macramé, 4 strands 6 ply each or 3 strands 6 ply each, which one is commonly used ?
The first option makes sense..stupid question but you can do this with hair too?
Yes!! This works great with hair 😊
Right over left right over left then cross over to the right
Just tried the first method for the first time..my fingers kept getting tripped up when holding the separate strands..but if I keep practicing, I know that I will get it
Could the the second, weaving method, be used for any number of strands?
Yes! I believe this should work with more strands :)
The second method is ALOT easier for people with only one hand (like me lol)
Can I try this with my hair damp? Or should I use dry hair?
I usually find it’s easier to braid hair when it is wet. If you still have a lot of trouble with this braid on hair, there might be other videos on here of people doing it with hair instead of rope which might be helpful for you. :)
I agree. Wet/damp hair sticks together more, so it's easier to manipulate. My hair is straight and fine, and it's hard to get it to cooperate when it's dry.
It seems like the first two are the exact same braid, just reversed. Both are a flat braid and crossed in the same pattern. Thoughts?
Probably a dumb question but what material are you using?
This is a 6mm braided polyolefin craft cord. I have it linked in the description 😊
Are the results of first and second methods the same?
The third result looks different.
Yes, first and second look the same. The 3rd gives a different look :)
