Have you looked at www.dreamweaverbraiding.com? Her instructions are a little difficult to translate to your own head instead of someone else's, but she has instructions for both a flat and square four strand.

I looked at this site and was amazed!!!  Did you do the four strand braid on yourself???   I think I would have to practice on someone else quite a bit before attempting it on myself.  If you find your lost instructions, would you please post them???

I know how to do both a four stranded flat braid and a four stranded square braid...........but I'm bad at explaining things

OK. The way I had to do it on here last night was wrong. I tried it again and it didn't work. I think this is the way to do it.

Divide your hair into four sections horizontally. I will call these, from your left to your right, 1,2,3 & 4 respectively.

1. Cross 1 over 2
2. Cross 4 under 3
3. Cross 4 over 1

Now, rename then 1-4 again, from left to right.

1. Cross 1 under 2
2. Cross 4 over 3
3. Cross 4 over 1


I think that's the way to do it. If I'm wrong, don't sue me!
