I have never done one before and love the way it looks.
Any ideas on how to do this for long length hair?

It can be hard to see in the picture but you are using multiple strands instead of the traditional 3. This takes practice if you have never done one before. Watching a video may help you out more than reading or looking at pictures. Here is an easy to follow video that may help you out!

I love doing these braids. You have to practice to get good. A tip that may help you is using mousse on your hair while it is wet, after you wash it. Dry as normal. The mousse will make it easier to shape your hair and as you need help, dip your finger tips in water to reactive the mousse.
