The Jedi braid, also known as the Padawan braid, is a symbolic hairstyle worn by the Jedi Knights during their training in the Star Wars universe. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars or simply looking for a new hairstyle, follow these 13 steps to create your very own Jedi braid.

1.Choose your location: Select which side of your head you’d like the braid to be on. Typically, the braid falls on either the left or right side, just behind the ear.

2.Section off hair: Grab a small section of hair about an inch wide and separate it from the rest of your hair. This will be the strand you’ll use to create your braid.

3.Comb through: Using a fine-toothed comb, carefully comb through the selected hair section to remove any tangles or knots.

4.Apply hair product: To make braiding easier and hold the braid in place, apply a small amount of hair mousse or gel to the strand.

5.Divide into three sections: Split the strand into three equal parts for braiding.

6.Begin braiding: Start by crossing the right section over the middle one, then cross the left section over the new middle one (old right section). Continue to alternate between right and left sections as you braid down.

7.Keep tension even: Ensure that you maintain consistent tension throughout the braid – not too tight that it causes discomfort, but not too loose that it falls apart.

8.Braid to desired length: Continue braiding until you have reached your desired length for your Jedi Braid. Remember that leaving some unbraided hair at the end is essential for securing it with a hairband.

9.Secure with a clear elastic band: Once you’ve reached your desired length, secure the end of the braid with a small, clear hair elastic.

10.Trim excess hair: Carefully trim any excess hair at the end of the braid, leaving about a quarter-inch below the elastic band to prevent it from slipping out.

11.Add decorations (optional): For added authenticity or personal flair, add small beads or other decorations along the braid.

12.Style the rest of your hair: Style your remaining hair as desired. You may leave it down, put it in a ponytail or bun, or even incorporate it into an elaborate updo.

13.Rock your Jedi Braid with pride: Now that you have successfully created your very own Jedi Braid, wear it proudly as a symbol of your love for the Star Wars universe and your dedication to mastering the Force.

By following these 13 simple steps, you can easily create an iconic and unique hairstyle that pays tribute to the legendary Jedi Knights from a galaxy far, far away. May the Force be with you!
