Are you Braider? Need some review? Want to learn? Aunt Sam, will teach you the basics of Braiding and MORE! This is a hands-on hair braiding class. You will need both hands free to work the braid. It is preferred that the student does not use headphones, thus allowing freedom of movement. This course will be very interactive. There will not be a presentation or a lecture; rather Aunt Sam will give live a demonstration of each braid as the students practice alongside. Aunt Sam will move at the pace of the students while answering questions and giving feedback along the way. She will then work individually with each student. This ongoing class is a combination of Aunt Sam's One-time braiding classes, her camp and more advanced braiding. Summer Session days included Lesson 1 Week of 1/13 : Basic Braiding With Hairstyles • Learn the Basic 3-strand Braid and how to use it in different hairstyles, like buns. Lesson 2 Week of 1/20 : French Braids • Learn how to add sections of hair to the 3-strand Braid to make a French Braid. Understanding of the basic 3-strand Braid is necessary for this class, but will be reviewed briefly at the beginning of class. If time permits, learn how to incorporate the French Braid into Hairstyles like a Crown. Lesson 3 Week of 1/27 : Dutch Braids • Learn the art of an “inside out” French Braid. Understanding of the basic 3-strand Braid is necessary for this class, but will be reviewed briefly at the beginning of class. The French and Dutch braids are the foundation of nearly every braided hairstyle. Lesson 4 Week of 2/24: Learn Fish-Tail braiding • This week we start 2-strand Braids with the Fish-Tail. If time permits we will incorporate the Fish-Tail into elegant Hairstyles, similar to Dutch and French Braiding. Lesson 5 Week of 3/3: Twist braiding. • Learn another 2-strand Braid, which is also called the “Rope Braid.” Learn how to create a Twist Braid similar to Dutch and French Braiding. Lesson 6 Week of 3/10: 5-Strand Braids, Advanced Braiding • Get Ready for some tricky finger holding as with work the 5-Strand Braid/Plait. Student needs an understanding of the basic 3-strand Braid is necessary for this class, but will be reviewed briefly at the beginning of class. Lesson 7 Week of 3/17 : More Advanced Braiding • Get Ready for Infinity Braids, Braiding on your own head and other Braiding tricks, if time permits. Student needs an understanding of how to hold multiple strands in hands, as discussed in previous lessons. We plan to start basic braiding the First week of December with Holiday Hairstyles, depending on interest and need of students. We will move in a natural progression so that students are prepared for each stage and do not become overwhelmed. Power Point slides/Pictures will be provided each week. See you in class! The students will need a head of hair to practice on; a mannequin (secured) a sibling, a doll (also secured tightly) or a friend with medium length, thick hair. We have found that the Friend/Mom's hair is best to work on. The team work makes a difference and the friend can hold sections of hair for the learner as he/she braids. See you in class!

I started braiding my hair when I was 14 and kept trying different braids. Now, with 6 daughters, I've braided their hair for over 25 years! I've taught all of my daughters different braiding styles and I look forward to teaching you!
