Hey guys!
And welcome back to my channel.
Today, I'm going to show you
step by step how to do a Dutch braid.
I'm not going to speed anything up
in this video because I'm
going to explain every step
I take from the top to the bottom
So, yeah, its gonna be very long.
So, if any of you guys have trouble
doing a Dutch braid,
you can follow along to this video
step-by-step
and im sure you guys are going to be
master braiders in no time.
So, the first thing
you wanna do, is to brush all
your hair to get rid of all the tangles.
When you're done brushing your hair
you're going to part your hair
into two equal sections
down the back of your head.
Here we go.
Now, just take a hairclip,
something like this or an elastic.
and just clip this hair out of the way.
Or tie it up.
Depends on what you're using.
The first thing you wanna do,
is to take a little triangle
section at the front
so, as you can see here,
its a little trangle.
You have it there, there,
and then cross over.
a little trangle.
then you are going to take this section
and split it into 3 sections.
I've seen a lot of people
pull the hair down this way
and then split it,
but you have to pull it in the direction
you want the braid to go.
So, in this case, we want the braid
to go to the back of our head, so
you wanna pull the hair in that direction.
and then split it.
Like that.
So, this is the top section.
This is the middle section.
And this is the bottom section.
So now we are going to start braiding
and I prefer to start with the top strand
but you can definitely start with
the bottom strand as well.
You just have to remember to start
with the same strand on the other side.
So, the first thing you have to do,
is take the top strand, bring it under,
and into the middle.
So now this is the top strand,
this is the middle strand,
and that one is the bottom strand.
Then you are gonna do the same thing
to the bottom strand, so bring it under
and into the middle.
So now, this is the top strand,
this is the middle strand,
and this is the bottom strand.
Now, you've started off the braid.
So now you have to add in hair,
and I know two ways to add in hair.
So I'm gonna show you both ways.
The first way, is to take the top strand
grab some hair, from the same side,
and then, take this section,
and bring it under and into the middle.
Again on the other side, you're gonna
take the bottom strand, grab some hair,
and add it to the bottom strand,
and bring that under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand,
grab some hair from the same side,
and then cross this under
and into the middle.
Again, take the bottom strand,
grab some hair, and then bring this under
and into the middle.
Then take the top strand, grab some hair,
and bring that under and into the middle.
Again, take the bottom strand,
grab some hair from the same side
and bring it under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand,
grab some hair from the same side,
and bring it under and into the middle.
Again, take the bottom strand,
grab some hair from the side,
then bring it under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand,
grab some hair,
Oww.
and then bring that under
and into the middle.
So, if you can't figure out how to
add in hair this way,
I'm gonna show you another technique.
So, instead of adding hair,
before wrapping it under and
bringing it to the middle,
you're going to add the hair afterwards.
So take the bottom strand,
wrap it under and into the middle,
then hold all the strands into one hand,
take some hair from the side,
and add that to the middle strand.
Again, take the top strand,
bring it under, into the middle
and then grab some hair from the side,
and then bring that under
and into the middle.
Again, take the bottom strand under
and into the middle,
then take the section from the same side
then bring that into the middle section.
Tthe top strand,
under and into the middle,
grab a section of hair
add that to the middle section.
Again, take the bottom strand,
under and into the middle,
and then add some hair from the same side
Again, take the top strand,
under and into the middle,
and then add some hair from the back.
Then bring the bottom strand
under and into the middle.
and add some hair.
So, now I've reached the back of my head,
so i have no more hair to add in.
So, now I'm just going to keep braiding
the hair like a normal braid.
When you are done braiding,
then just take an elastic
and secure the braid.
And that is how you do a Dutch braid.
So, now we are going to do the other side.
So, just take the clip out.
And then just make sure
that there are no tangles.
Now im going to show you
the exact same thing I did on this side,
but just on this side,
so you have two braids.
So take a small triangle shape,
like that.
and then split this into three sections.
So, because I started with the top strand
on the other side, I'm also going to start
with the top strand on this side.
So take the top strand,
under and into the middle.
And then take the bottom strand,
under and into the middle.
So now you have to start adding in hair.
So take the top strand,
grab some hair,
and bring it under and into the middle.
Then take the bottom strand,
grab some hair from the same side,
and bring that under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand,
grab some hair from the same side,
then bring that under and into the middle.
Again, take the bottom strand,
grab some hair,
then bring this under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand, grab some hair
and then bring this under
and into the middle.
Then take the bottom strand,
grab some hair,
bring that under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand, grab some hair
bring this under and into the middle.
Again, take the bottom strand,
grab some hair,
then bring it under and into the middle.
Again, take the top strand, grab some hair
from the back,
and then bring that under
and into the middle.
Oww.
So that was the first technique.
Now I'm going to show you
the other technique.
So take the bottom strand,
bring it under and into the middle,
then bring all the strands into one hand,
grab a new section of hair,
and then add that to the middle strand.
Again, take the top strand,
under and into the middle,
bring all strands into one hand.
Then add some hair from the same side,
to the middle strand.
Again, take the bottom strand,
cross it under and into the middle,
grab some hair from the same side,
then bring that under and into the middle.
Then take the top strand,
under and into the middle, grab some hair
and add it to the middle section.
Then take the bottom strand,
under and into the middle,
add some hair to the middle strand.
Then take the top strand,
under and into the middle,
and then add some hair,.
Now that there's no more hair to add in,
I'm just going to braid the hair
like a normal braid.
Then take an elastic and secure your braid
So, now that you're done braiding,
you can start to loosen up the braid
by pulling on the sides of the braid
to make it really big
and really voluminous.
You can also just leave it like this
if this is the look you're going for.
So, this is how you Dutch braid your hair,
and I really hope I explained it well
because I really did try my best,
