I found these three types of six strand braids a while back.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Rick! Apparently i was doing the "hard way" no wonder my hands are dying and it took me so long!

so i started another with the "easy" method... while much quicker and easier on my hands. Im not happy with the pattern it makes. I"ll post a picture later of the two side by side.

This is what I was trying to say in an earlier post. It all depends on the patter you are looking for as to how hard or how easy and quick your braiding will be. If you desire the over 1, under 1 pattern then it's the hard way. If it is another pattern like under 1, over 2, or the half round braid then it's the easy and quick way. It's all dependent on the pattern you seek to use.

i guess i was figured that either way you braided it you were getting the same result. the link that was posted in his photos they look the same in the end but that could be because it was all one color. Not sure. I'm about halfway done with the second lead in brown, bronze and gold. I'll post photos side by side later tonight I'll have them both 100% complete. very big difference in the appearance of quality IMO between the two
