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,
-
but, I hope you guys found this video
-
