Since doing our Rolled Up 4 Strand Braided Bun it got me curious to see the 2 different 4 strand braids side by side. So if you’ve thought the round vs. flat weren’t much different … they kind of are! So here’s a comparison! I think it’s cool that they look so different, but use the same number of strands!
And since we did our Rolled Up 4 Strand Braided Bun I’ve finally had time to put together our video of how to do a simple flat 4 strand braid, so here is how we do it.
And just as a refresher, since my picture above is comparing a round or 3D 4 strand braid to this flat one, if you don’t know how to do the round 4 strand braid here’s our video on how to do the round one that I previously posted. Or if you want to see this round 4 strand braid with ribbon down the middle, click HERE for that!
Let me know if you have any questions! Even if you haven’t tried both types of 4 strand braids – which one is your favorite!? I’m having a hard time deciding! I guess it depends on the style they are used in! For all our styles where we’ve used 4 strand braids click HERE!





















Both are gorgeous, but I prefer the flat, cause it looks, like, harder to do, and perhaps it will get more compliments! lol Both are awesome, really, it’s hard to decide!
Love the flat braid!
