Take a small subsection of hair from the top of the section.  A common mistake beginners make is using too much hair at the beginning of the row.  You should take as little hair as you need to make a secure braid.  That is going to vary from person to person, but it's generally not more than a 3/4 cm. square area of hair.

If you start with too much hair, you are more likely to cause too much tension (pulling), yet at the same time, the style will not hold as well. So when you take a small subsection, make it really really small.
