Hairstyle for curly hair: Dutch braid tutorial
This hairstyle can be done in wet or dry hair, and looks great in
second (or third!) day curls. It’s best for medium to long hair. If you
have very long hair, it may be harder to twist around into the bun at
the end. Try creating a larger bun, or leave your hair out in a side
braid.
Step-by-Step
- Start by taking a section of hair at the front of your head. I usually take a section from my natural part across to the end of my left eyebrow. Split this section in to three equal sections.
- Begin a Dutch braid. This is the reverse of a French braid. Take the left section under the middle, and the right section under the left. Add in a small section of hair to the middle piece and bring that under the right section.
- Continue braiding down the back of your head, adding in small sections of hair as you go. Always bring the hair underneath so that your braid sits on top of your hair.
- Take a slight diagonal angle with your braid from the top left of your head to the bottom right. Once you reach the end of your hair, finish in a reverse braid and secure the end of your hair with a clear elastic.
- Stretch out your braid to emphasize the shape of your hair. Gently pull at the sides of the braid to loosen it. This will make your hair look thicker.
- Twist the end of your braid up and around to form a bun. Pin in place with bobby pins.
Styling Tips
Don’t try to make this style too perfect. The beauty of curls is
their messy texture, so embrace it and leave some hair loose around your
face if you have layers.
I sometimes find that my curls can be a little knotty and it’s hard
to add in neat sections. You can see if Picture 5 above that I use one
hand to hold the braid, and the other to separate a section of hair.
this makes it easier when adding hair to the braid.
Of course this style works for straight hair too and you can see this Dutch Braided Upstyle in straight hair here.
