How to Do a Dutch Braid On Yourself

If you so not know how to do a Dutch braid or French braid on your hair, you can sometimes be limited on what styles you can do on your hair. We have had so many friends ask how to do these braids on yourself, and now we want to share with you how to do this easily and effectively. Please enjoy our video, “How to do a Dutch Braid on Yourself”

Here is a written step by step process of how to Dutch braid your own hair.

• Start by parting your hair in the middle, all the way down the back.
• Section off one half of your hair with a ponytail to prevent it from messing up your braid on the other side.
• We are going to do a Dutch braid which means that we will be braiding the outside strands underneath the middle strand. This is what makes a Dutch braid special and makes it stand out so much.
• Take a small section of hair at the front, split into three strands, and begin your braid.
• Each time you cross the outside strand under the middle strand of hair, add in some hair from the rest of your head to braid in all the hair on each side of your head.
• Watch closely in the video as I show how to work your fingers to pull off this braid quickly and smoothly.
• The second half of the video, I perform the Dutch braid, showing you the angle from the back.
• Spend time pancaking the braid and loosening it so that it will appear thick and luscious.

Hello! I tried the Dutch braid and it came out much better than expected. Some issues but it’ll work out. My issue is that I have VERY fine hair and it’s like broken hair all over the place as looks awful. Wish I could show you a pic in YT. Any product you can recommend to soothe down all my flyaways? They are all over my head.
