Whether you’re chasing that whimsical, fairytale vibe or just hiding your second-day hair, Dutch braids are your new best friend. Trust me, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be braiding like a pro in no time. Here’s your ultimate guide to mastering the Dutch braid, with a cheeky double trouble option for those feeling extra adventurous. 💇♀️✨
How To Dutch Braid Your Hair
Step #1: Clean And Prep Your Hair
Start with a clean slate, folks! Clean hair equals the best braiding canvas. Use a good purifying shampoo and conditioner to kick off. Don’t forget to brush out those tangles and give your mane some texture and body with a volumizing mousse.
Step #2: Section Your Hair
At the frontline of your hair (think eyebrow arch to eyebrow arch), section off a piece and smooth it over with a serum for that sleek finish. Divide this section into three even strands to start your braid.
Step #3: Anchor Your Braid
Now, let’s get braiding! Bring your right strand under the middle one, then do the same with the left. As you braid, keep adding more hair to each side to build up that braid.
Step #4: Repeat
When you run out of hair to add, just continue with a traditional three-strand braid to the ends. Secure it with an elastic and set it with a strong hold hairspray for lasting impact.
How To Double Dutch Braid Your Hair
Feeling fancy? Let’s double up!
Step #1: Brush Your Strands
A good dry shampoo can work wonders for adding texture without the wash. Spritz at the roots for an oil-free lift.
Step #2: Section Your Hair And Dutch Braid It
Part your hair down the middle and clip one side to keep it out of the way. Start on the other side by brushing it back and grabbing a small section at the front. Split it into three, and off you go! Remember, it’s all about bringing the right strand under the middle, then the left, and adding more hair as you braid.
Editor’s Tip: Dutch braiding the back of your head might feel like you’re trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. Grab a couple of mirrors and patience; you’ve got this!
In the spirit of true Bella Banter fashion, don’t forget to laugh at yourself if you end up with more of a bird’s nest than a braid on your first few tries. It’s all part of the journey, darling. And who knows? You might just stumble upon a new trend. 😉
Overall, whether you opt for the classic Dutch braid or double the fun, it’s all about practice, patience, and a bit of playful perseverance. So, grab those bobby pins and let’s braid our way to fabulousness. Thanks for tuning in, lovelies! Remember, every day is a good hair day if you believe in the magic of braids. ✨💖
