And welcome back to my channel.

0:00:02.626,0:00:04.331
Today, I'm going to show you

0:00:04.343,0:00:06.590
step by step how to do a Dutch braid.

0:00:06.590,0:00:08.264
I'm not going to speed anything up

0:00:08.331,0:00:09.883
in this video because I'm

0:00:09.883,0:00:11.326
going to explain every step

0:00:11.326,0:00:13.320
I take from the top to the bottom

0:00:13.800,0:00:15.554
So, yeah, its gonna be very long.

0:00:15.594,0:00:17.384
So, if any of you guys have trouble

0:00:17.384,0:00:18.583
doing a Dutch braid,

0:00:18.583,0:00:20.518
you can follow along to this video

0:00:20.518,0:00:21.480
step-by-step

0:00:21.480,0:00:23.432
and im sure you guys are going to be

0:00:23.432,0:00:24.816
master braiders in no time.

0:00:24.816,0:00:25.889
So, the first thing

0:00:25.889,0:00:27.355
you wanna do, is to brush all

0:00:27.355,0:00:29.450
your hair to get rid of all the tangles.

0:00:39.216,0:00:40.896
When you're done brushing your hair

0:00:40.896,0:00:42.555
you're going to part your hair

0:00:42.555,0:00:44.962
into two equal sections

0:00:44.962,0:00:46.546
down the back of your head.

0:00:54.065,0:00:54.912
Here we go.

0:00:54.912,0:00:56.424
Now, just take a hairclip,

0:00:56.424,0:00:58.481
something like this or an elastic.

0:00:58.481,0:01:00.936
and just clip this hair out of the way.

0:01:02.262,0:01:03.292
Or tie it up.

0:01:03.292,0:01:05.103
Depends on what you're using.

0:01:08.906,0:01:10.306
The first thing you wanna do,

0:01:10.306,0:01:12.459
is to take a little triangle

0:01:12.459,0:01:14.348
section at the front

0:01:15.351,0:01:16.757
so, as you can see here,

0:01:16.757,0:01:18.013
its a little trangle.

0:01:18.013,0:01:20.391
You have it there, there,

0:01:20.391,0:01:22.294
and then cross over.

0:01:23.412,0:01:24.583
a little trangle.

0:01:24.635,0:01:26.495
then you are going to take this section

0:01:26.495,0:01:28.111
and split it into 3 sections.

0:01:28.250,0:01:29.610
I've seen a lot of people

0:01:29.610,0:01:31.219
pull the hair down this way

0:01:31.219,0:01:32.475
and then split it,

0:01:32.764,0:01:34.715
but you have to pull it in the direction

0:01:34.715,0:01:36.120
you want the braid to go.

0:01:36.120,0:01:37.890
So, in this case, we want the braid

0:01:37.890,0:01:39.897
to go to the back of our head, so

0:01:39.897,0:01:42.176
you wanna pull the hair in that direction.

0:01:42.176,0:01:43.298
and then split it.

0:01:51.133,0:01:52.046
Like that.

0:01:52.046,0:01:53.950
So, this is the top section.

0:01:53.950,0:01:55.667
This is the middle section.

0:01:55.667,0:01:57.411
And this is the bottom section.

0:01:57.668,0:01:59.808
So now we are going to start braiding

0:01:59.808,0:02:02.243
and I prefer to start with the top strand

0:02:02.243,0:02:04.022
but you can definitely start with

0:02:04.022,0:02:05.502
the bottom strand as well.

0:02:05.502,0:02:07.247
You just have to remember to start

0:02:07.247,0:02:09.127
with the same strand on the other side.

0:02:09.127,0:02:10.791
So, the first thing you have to do,

0:02:10.791,0:02:12.932
is take the top strand, bring it under,

0:02:12.932,0:02:14.416
and into the middle.

0:02:14.436,0:02:16.230
So now this is the top strand,

0:02:16.230,0:02:17.526
this is the middle strand,

0:02:17.526,0:02:19.501
and that one is the bottom strand.

0:02:19.681,0:02:21.488
Then you are gonna do the same thing

0:02:21.488,0:02:23.757
to the bottom strand, so bring it under

0:02:23.757,0:02:25.153
and into the middle.

0:02:25.153,0:02:26.912
So now, this is the top strand,

0:02:26.912,0:02:28.356
this is the middle strand,

0:02:28.356,0:02:30.058
and this is the bottom strand.

0:02:30.484,0:02:32.125
Now, you've started off the braid.

0:02:32.125,0:02:33.806
So now you have to add in hair,

0:02:33.806,0:02:36.169
and I know two ways to add in hair.

0:02:36.169,0:02:38.309
So I'm gonna show you both ways.

0:02:38.309,0:02:41.295
The first way, is to take the top strand

0:02:42.993,0:02:45.689
grab some hair, from the same side,

0:02:46.260,0:02:49.810
and then, take this section,

0:02:49.810,0:02:51.806
and bring it under and into the middle.

0:02:53.152,0:02:55.340
Again on the other side, you're gonna

0:02:55.340,0:02:58.565
take the bottom strand, grab some hair,

0:02:59.167,0:03:01.144
and add it to the bottom strand,

0:03:01.715,0:03:03.938
and bring that under and into the middle.

0:03:04.498,0:03:06.444
Again, take the top strand,

0:03:07.715,0:03:09.735
grab some hair from the same side,

0:03:12.625,0:03:14.152
and then cross this under

0:03:14.152,0:03:15.368
and into the middle.

0:03:16.866,0:03:19.131
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:03:20.043,0:03:26.013
grab some hair, and then bring this under

0:03:26.013,0:03:27.337
and into the middle.

0:03:28.771,0:03:31.961
Then take the top strand, grab some hair,

0:03:35.727,0:03:38.039
and bring that under and into the middle.

0:03:40.029,0:03:41.935
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:03:42.857,0:03:44.915
grab some hair from the same side

0:03:49.009,0:03:51.174
and bring it under and into the middle.

0:03:52.091,0:03:54.302
Again, take the top strand,

0:03:55.500,0:03:58.114
grab some hair from the same side,

0:04:01.109,0:04:03.377
and bring it under and into the middle.

0:04:04.659,0:04:07.017
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:04:08.306,0:04:10.036
grab some hair from the side,

0:04:13.059,0:04:15.837
then bring it under and into the middle.

0:04:17.160,0:04:18.802
Again, take the top strand,

0:04:20.011,0:04:21.061
grab some hair,

0:04:24.129,0:04:24.839
Oww.

0:04:25.296,0:04:26.771
and then bring that under

0:04:26.771,0:04:27.778
and into the middle.

0:04:28.776,0:04:30.591
So, if you can't figure out how to

0:04:30.591,0:04:31.849
add in hair this way,

0:04:31.849,0:04:34.511
I'm gonna show you another technique.

0:04:34.511,0:04:35.874
So, instead of adding hair,

0:04:35.874,0:04:37.765
before wrapping it under and

0:04:37.765,0:04:39.007
bringing it to the middle,

0:04:39.007,0:04:40.914
you're going to add the hair afterwards.

0:04:40.917,0:04:42.567
So take the bottom strand,

0:04:42.567,0:04:44.684
wrap it under and into the middle,

0:04:45.826,0:04:48.346
then hold all the strands into one hand,

0:04:49.994,0:04:51.687
take some hair from the side,

0:04:51.687,0:04:53.744
and add that to the middle strand.

0:04:55.118,0:04:57.097
Again, take the top strand,

0:04:57.988,0:05:00.017
bring it under, into the middle

0:05:00.983,0:05:03.627
and then grab some hair from the side,

0:05:08.239,0:05:09.929
and then bring that under

0:05:09.929,0:05:10.899
and into the middle.

0:05:13.163,0:05:15.147
Again, take the bottom strand under

0:05:15.147,0:05:16.391
and into the middle,

0:05:18.808,0:05:21.241
then take the section from the same side

0:05:23.052,0:05:25.509
then bring that into the middle section.

0:05:26.404,0:05:27.582
Tthe top strand,

0:05:28.239,0:05:29.880
under and into the middle,

0:05:31.802,0:05:33.523
grab a section of hair

0:05:37.045,0:05:39.480
add that to the middle section.

0:05:41.782,0:05:43.533
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:05:44.084,0:05:45.637
under and into the middle,

0:05:46.230,0:05:50.450
and then add some hair from the same side

0:05:53.289,0:05:55.041
Again, take the top strand,

0:05:55.455,0:05:56.941
under and into the middle,

0:05:59.134,0:06:01.665
and then add some hair from the back.

0:06:08.455,0:06:10.375
Then bring the bottom strand

0:06:10.375,0:06:11.798
under and into the middle.

0:06:12.090,0:06:13.638
and add some hair.

0:06:14.904,0:06:17.107
So, now I've reached the back of my head,

0:06:17.107,0:06:19.004
so i have no more hair to add in.

0:06:19.344,0:06:21.274
So, now I'm just going to keep braiding

0:06:21.274,0:06:22.756
the hair like a normal braid.

0:06:40.166,0:06:41.526
When you are done braiding,

0:06:41.526,0:06:43.000
then just take an elastic

0:06:43.000,0:06:44.221
and secure the braid.

0:06:50.652,0:06:53.162
And that is how you do a Dutch braid.

0:06:53.162,0:06:55.527
So, now we are going to do the other side.

0:06:55.527,0:06:57.103
So, just take the clip out.

0:06:57.642,0:06:59.025
And then just make sure

0:06:59.025,0:07:00.884
that there are no tangles.

0:07:04.741,0:07:06.175
Now im going to show you

0:07:06.175,0:07:08.125
the exact same thing I did on this side,

0:07:08.345,0:07:09.665
but just on this side,

0:07:09.750,0:07:11.362
so you have two braids.

0:07:11.884,0:07:15.012
So take a small triangle shape,

0:07:16.971,0:07:17.754
like that.

0:07:18.405,0:07:21.703
and then split this into three sections.

0:07:25.027,0:07:27.457
So, because I started with the top strand

0:07:27.457,0:07:29.628
on the other side, I'm also going to start

0:07:29.628,0:07:31.452
with the top strand on this side.

0:07:31.956,0:07:33.136
So take the top strand,

0:07:33.136,0:07:34.639
under and into the middle.

0:07:34.849,0:07:36.753
And then take the bottom strand,

0:07:36.753,0:07:38.444
under and into the middle.

0:07:38.444,0:07:40.630
So now you have to start adding in hair.

0:07:41.132,0:07:42.642
So take the top strand,

0:07:43.728,0:07:44.793
grab some hair,

0:07:47.820,0:07:49.946
and bring it under and into the middle.

0:07:51.145,0:07:53.056
Then take the bottom strand,

0:07:54.165,0:07:56.130
grab some hair from the same side,

0:07:59.547,0:08:01.762
and bring that under and into the middle.

0:08:02.988,0:08:05.202
Again, take the top strand,

0:08:06.311,0:08:08.518
grab some hair from the same side,

0:08:13.928,0:08:16.318
then bring that under and into the middle.

0:08:18.307,0:08:20.460
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:08:21.837,0:08:22.902
grab some hair,

0:08:28.402,0:08:30.744
then bring this under and into the middle.

0:08:33.014,0:08:36.874
Again, take the top strand, grab some hair

0:08:43.576,0:08:45.156
and then bring this under

0:08:45.156,0:08:46.457
and into the middle.

0:08:48.636,0:08:50.436
Then take the bottom strand,

0:08:51.924,0:08:53.179
grab some hair,

0:08:57.058,0:08:59.477
bring that under and into the middle.

0:09:03.141,0:09:07.391
Again, take the top strand, grab some hair

0:09:11.085,0:09:13.279
bring this under and into the middle.

0:09:16.473,0:09:18.552
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:09:20.886,0:09:22.230
grab some hair,

0:09:23.402,0:09:25.822
then bring it under and into the middle.

0:09:29.208,0:09:33.278
Again, take the top strand, grab some hair

0:09:33.278,0:09:34.667
from the back,

0:09:38.564,0:09:39.754
and then bring that under

0:09:39.754,0:09:41.083
and into the middle.

0:09:43.547,0:09:44.257
Oww.

0:09:47.948,0:09:49.619
So that was the first technique.

0:09:49.619,0:09:50.875
Now I'm going to show you

0:09:50.875,0:09:51.901
the other technique.

0:09:52.283,0:09:53.591
So take the bottom strand,

0:09:53.591,0:09:55.584
bring it under and into the middle,

0:09:56.097,0:09:58.665
then bring all the strands into one hand,

0:09:59.828,0:10:01.847
grab a new section of hair,

0:10:03.427,0:10:05.897
and then add that to the middle strand.

0:10:07.363,0:10:09.212
Again, take the top strand,

0:10:09.626,0:10:11.162
under and into the middle,

0:10:11.817,0:10:14.187
bring all strands into one hand.

0:10:14.953,0:10:18.422
Then add some hair from the same side,

0:10:21.195,0:10:22.755
to the middle strand.

0:10:25.334,0:10:26.958
Again, take the bottom strand,

0:10:27.475,0:10:29.154
cross it under and into the middle,

0:10:30.853,0:10:33.157
grab some hair from the same side,

0:10:35.013,0:10:37.420
then bring that under and into the middle.

0:10:40.117,0:10:41.678
Then take the top strand,

0:10:41.678,0:10:45.840
under and into the middle, grab some hair

0:10:47.281,0:10:49.564
and add it to the middle section.

0:10:50.724,0:10:52.201
Then take the bottom strand,

0:10:52.400,0:10:53.907
under and into the middle,

0:10:55.352,0:10:58.902
add some hair to the middle strand.

0:11:01.067,0:11:02.679
Then take the top strand,

0:11:02.679,0:11:03.982
under and into the middle,

0:11:05.180,0:11:06.778
and then add some hair,.

0:11:07.388,0:11:09.334
Now that there's no more hair to add in,

0:11:09.408,0:11:11.075
I'm just going to braid the hair

0:11:11.089,0:11:12.559
like a normal braid.

0:11:29.995,0:11:33.335
Then take an elastic and secure your braid

0:11:36.392,0:11:38.246
So, now that you're done braiding,

0:11:38.246,0:11:40.320
you can start to loosen up the braid

0:11:40.320,0:11:42.491
by pulling on the sides of the braid

0:11:42.507,0:11:43.512
to make it really big

0:11:43.512,0:11:44.746
and really voluminous.

0:11:45.077,0:11:46.807
You can also just leave it like this

0:11:46.807,0:11:48.669
if this is the look you're going for.

0:11:48.891,0:11:51.176
