How To do a Dutch Braid

Things You'll Need:

• Wide toothed comb

• Narrow toothed comb

• Elastic ponytail holder

• Spray bottle filled with water

Instructions:

 

1. Detangle the hair with a wide toothed comb. Dampen the hair at the same time by spritzing with the spray bottle as you're combing. Once the hair is sufficiently dampened and detangled, comb it all back and proceed.

2. Part the hair straight down the middle if you want to do one dutch braid on each side, like in the picture. Otherwise, just leave the whole head in one section and begin braiding.

3.  Pick up a section of hair from the top center and divide it into three pieces.

4. Begin braiding by moving the center piece to the outside of the braid. In a regular french braid you'd be working the braid by moving the outside sections into the center. In a dutch braid, you move the center pieces out to the sides. Each time you move a piece out, it picks up a new section of hair.

5. Continue braiding down the length of the section adding new hair to the braid at each turn. When there is no more hair left to add, simply continue braiding to the ends of the hair.

 P.S. Remember just practice with someone and you'll soon be an expert!
