It will cover all the hair you pulled from over your ear to create the Dutch braid. Once you've made your braid as big and messy as you'd like it to be, unclip that squared-off section. Here's the secret to all those beautiful, messy braided styles: secure the end of the braid with a small elastic, then begin to pull at each loop of the braid, loosening it and making it look bigger. Continue the Dutch braid back toward your ear, then right above the ear switch to just regular braiding with the three sections. Make sure you keep the braid tight and aligned with your hairline. Go ahead and pick up a little extra hair with each piece while you braid, but rather than bringing each section over the center piece of hair (like in a French braid), you'll bring it under to create the Dutch braid. In the free-hanging section at the front, take out three tiny pieces of hair to begin your first Dutch braid. Go ahead and pin that squared-off section back. Separate a small section at the front of one side, then create a squared-off section directly behind it. But today's double Dutch braids are the perfect pulled-out, messy answer to my thin-hair woes.įor those of you who are intimidated by any French or Dutch-style braiding, fear not: this style is so easy to learn! (And if you get stuck, try this little video.) Begin with your hair parted in the middle.
DOUBLE DUTCH BRAID FULL
Because I don't have a full head of thick, luxurious hair, I sometimes shy away from braided styles my braids can end up looking a little wimpy.

My fiance calls it "baby hair." Some days I feel like Homer Simpson or Charlie Brown as I attempt the latest trends with what feels like three pathetic little hairs. As some of you can probably tell, I have very fine hair.
