To braid a square braid, you need to divide the upper layer of hair into strands. There should be three of them, and you need to start with weaving an ordinary braid to fix your hair. After you spin several times, you need to divide the left strand into two. Next, you need to use your thumb and forefinger to grab the lock in the middle and pass it through the two left locks. Now the left strand is connected.
