Before I start talking about the dutch braid, I thought I would give you an update where my dust mite allergy going from my last hair post.

Simple tip how to ducth braid
A Dutch braid is the reverse of a normal braid. In a normal braid, You will start by dividing strands into three strands and cross one over the other. On the other hand, Dutch braid crosses the strands under the other if that makes sense. Thus, It is basically the reverse. As an illustration, the best way I learned how to do a dutch braid is by taking three ribbons; red, gray, and black. Accordingly, red is your left strand, gray is the middle and black is the right.
Afterward, I start crossing the red under the gray and the black under the red making gray the left then cross it under the black and continue until no ribbon left to braid.
If I am doing a sophisticated look like today Then I will do the same process by incorporating hair strands. In other words, each time I put a strand under the other I will take hair from the outer side and include it to it. Another thing, In order to make the braid easy, I number them; 1,2,3 and add hair. These are my tips on how to nail the Dutch braid hairstyle. As a matter of fact, It took me a while to get it but as soon as I started numbering them everything became easy.

Step-by-step double dutch braids
- firstly, divide your hair from your hairline to the side you like. I like my hair to go the left more. So I start by my left side.
- Then start by the side that has more hair. Take a strand next divide it to 3. Number them in your head; 1,2,3 making 2 the middle strand.
- Now cross 1 under 2 and 3 under 1. This time 2 will be your left strand take a strand of hair from the side of your hairline and combine it to 2 and cross it under 3.
- Then take another strand from the hairline to your crown and combine it to 2 and continue adding till you reach behind your ear. Note: don’t incorporate all the hair from the crown.
- Stop at this point and do a normal dutch braid with no hair added secure it with an elastic band. Message the braid to give it some volume.

- Now go to the other side of your face, take a strand and divide to 3 and do the same previous dutch braid steps.
- At this point, you will have double dutch braids but not with all your hair. In fact, you will see that I did not incorporate all the hair from the crown. The reason behind it is I want a volume hair look.
- Now combine the braid with the rest of your hair and take it to on side. I took it a bit to the right. then secure it with elastic bands. Prior to creating your bun, remove the elastic bands from your braid and just tie the hair with another hair tie by pushing your hair in a messy bun look.
- Now secure all fly hair by wrapping the ends into your finger and secure it to the nap of the neck close to the bun. It does not have to be accurate or define. the messier the better.
