How To: Boxer Braids (Dutch Braids)

Quick and easy way to do quick and easy boxer braids on yourself!
1. Part hair down the center all the way to the nape, creating two equal sections on either side of your head.
2. Clip one side away. With first section start at the front hairline, take 1" section, part with fingers into three strands.
3. Start a french braid, but bring the hair under the middle piece. * The key difference with a dutch braid is the hair coming from either side goes under the middle piece not over.
Once you get this rhythm you might notice a dutch braid easier to do than a french braid.
4. Repeat these steps; with right strand grab hair, bring under middle strand. with left strand grab hair, bring under middle strand Do this all the way to the nape and continue braid to ends of hair. tie with elastic.
5. Repeat the same process on opposite side.

I gave up after 2 failed attempts at sectioning three strands with my weak ass arms up in the air. I literally flopped back on the bed in pain and frustration, , , it's a good tutorial though!

This did not help me at all. She didn't even show how to do the braid really, how to connect them. I basically just watched her braid her hair. Waste of my time. Thanks

Yall nothing was said about cornrows. If yall get so defensive about cornrows and stuff why bringin it into the convo? Y'all just want something to complain about.

[angiehuang]

[AnaRomero-pebv]

I’m having a mental break down. My hair is thin and it gets tangled in every little movement I make 😢I can’t do it

[ellieandy]

What is wrong with boxers, ufc women fighters, or anyone of any race or gender braiding their hair this way? It is a great way for boxers, ufc fighters or anyone with long hair to keep it neat and out of your face. It looks beautiful. Anyone that has hair on their head can braid.

Great tutorial Hun, keep up the amazing work! But I do need to get something out of the way with this "racists issue". African culture does include many braided hairstyles but braids themselves originated from Asian culture. So all these argumentative comments going back and fourth over what a human being named a video is ridiculous. There isn't a "prime example" of white people "taking" from another culture and calling it their own, its called individuality and freedom of expression. The braids themselves got the title "boxer braids" from how many females who are in boxing or etc. use the hairstyle to keep it out of the individuals face. Also another thing, these are definitely not cornrows, they're dutch braids(as shown in title). So all of you commenting "cornrows" or other ridiculous commentary that was not needed, are uneducated so don't tell others to get educated when you yourself don't understand what you're speaking on. I'm beyond sure that she didn't mean anything racist by uploading a "How to" video.
