Dutch braids are a popular hairstyle that involves weaving three sections of hair together in a specific pattern. Unlike traditional French braids, where the sections are crossed over each other, Dutch braids are created by crossing the strands under, resulting in a raised, 3D effect. This technique can be applied to various hair types and lengths. To create a Dutch braid, start by dividing the hair into three equal sections at the crown of the head. Begin braiding by crossing the right section under the middle, then the left section under the new middle. Continue adding hair from the sides as you braid downwards, securing the end with a hair tie.
