Braiding hair

1. Start a braid

Start with a middle part. Then take a small section of hair from the front on 1 side and begin braiding a 3-strand braid, each turn going under the middle section.


2. Make it a Dutch braid

To begin the Dutch braid, add a small amount of hair to your strand before passing it under the middle section.


Be sure to do this for each exterior strand before passing it under. 

Tying braid off

3. Tie off the Dutch braid under your ear

Use a clear, hair elastic to tie off the end of the Dutch braid under your ear, at the top of your neck.
