First things first, you must always extend your right hand. It is always advised that your right hand must always move out in order to shake hand with someone else. Why? It’s because there are more right handed people in the world as compared to left handed people. Moreover, the right hand is considered to be the more useful hand. Therefore, whenever you are extending a hand for a handshake, make sure it’s the right one; even if you are a left-handed person.

Once you have extended the arm and the hands have met, simply wrap your hand around the other person’s hand. This means that the thumb will overlap the palm and the fingers will be wrapped from underneath the palm. Your thumb and fingers will be pointing at each other at the back of the other person’s hand.
