How To Dutch Braid Your Own Hair Step By Step For Complete Beginners - FULL TALK THROUGH

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
