Instructions for hair and laces

In English today  we have been writing instructions on  how to plait hair or how to tie your shoe laces, e.g. "Firstly grab the two laces and make sure the laces are roughly the same length."

To make plaits for example, "Get a handful of hair and separate it into 3 equal parts. Then you should have a piece of hair in the middle, right and left. Then get the right piece of hair and place it next to the middle piece. Keep it tight. Place your left piece into the middle and so on.

We tested our instructions to see if they made sense. We found out that it was harder than you think because we missed out some simple instructions and didn't word them as clearly as we thought.
