Forget About Helmet Hair, Try This Instead
Forget about helmet hair! Try out this Dutch side braid hairstyle. Just follow along with this step-by-step tutorial.
Tools and materials:
- 3 clear hair elastics
- 1 hair tie
1. Make 2 Dutch braids
Starting on 1 side of your face, grab a section of hair from above your ear that’s roughly 3” across. Split this section into 3 equal parts.
Grab the right exterior section of hair and pass it under the middle section.
Then, take the left exterior section and pass it under the middle.
Now, grab the right exterior section and add hair to it before passing it under the middle.
Repeat with the left exterior section, adding more hair before crossing it under the middle.
Continue like this until about 1” below your ear. Then, tie off the braid with a clear elastic.
Then, make a 2nd Dutch braid on the other side of your face, following the same process.
2. Make a ponytail from all the hair
Pull all of your hair to 1 side and secure a ponytail with a regular hair tie at the length where you tied off the Dutch braids.
3. Braid the tail
Now, make a regular braid all the way to the ends of your hair and tie it off with a clear elastic.
4. Add volume
Lastly, pinch and pull at the sections of your braid to add volume.
