Braiding Tips and Tricks Part 1

Hey there everyone! So this is the beginning of some braiding tips and tricks that I hope will help you during these months when trying different hairstyles is always a good idea! What is your favorite type of braid? What type of braid would you like to learn how to do? Please comment below because this is only part 1...

Today I am going to share with you one of my personal favorites for a busy lady in the city or simply for someone who loves to wear their hair in a quick braided style. A great quick braid I like to do on myself is an inside out French Braid(also commonly referred to as a Dutch Braid). This braided look gives the braid a textured look while keeping the hair pulled towards the braid smooth. Below is an example of this braid.

To achieve this look part the hair and start the braid by the part on the side with more hair. Separate the top into 3 sections about 1 inch each and cross the outside section UNDER the middle section and then cross the other outside section under the middle section. As you continue down the braid add hair from the back side only and continued the pattern above. Keep braiding under instead of on top like a traditional French Braid! Questions? Comment below!

Are you wondering what if I have really fine hair and struggle with making my braid look full?! Some great ways to solve this include adding some texture through curls, waves, microcrimps, and texturizing hair products. Some great hair product must-haves for braiding include flexible styling paste, sea salt spray, dry texture spray, and dry shampoo.
