HOW TO MAKE DOUBLE DUTCH BRAID PONYTAIL

Looking for a stylish and fun hairstyle that’s perfect for any occasion? The double Dutch braid ponytail is a chic and trendy option that’s both practical and visually appealing. This guide will walk you through the steps to create this intricate and eye-catching hairstyle.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Hairbrush or comb
Hair ties (preferably clear or matching your hair color)
Hair clips (optional)
Hair spray (optional)

STEPS

Prepare Your Hair
- Start with clean, dry hair. You can work with straight or slightly wavy hair for this style.
- Brush your hair to remove any tangles.
Section Your Hair
- Divide your hair into two equal sections. You can part your hair down the middle or slightly off-center, depending on your preference.
- Clip one section away to keep it separate.
Create the First Dutch Braid
- Take a small section of hair (about 2-3 inches) from the front of the un-clipped section.
- Divide this section into three equal parts.
- Begin braiding by crossing the right section under the middle section, then the left section under the new middle section.
- As you braid, add small sections of hair from the sides to each strand before crossing under. This creates the Dutch braid effect.
Continue Braiding
- Continue adding hair and braiding until you reach the nape of your neck.
- Secure the braid with a hair tie once you reach the end.
Repeat on the Other Side
- Unclip the other section of hair and repeat the Dutch braid process on this side.
Combine into a Ponytail:
- Once both braids are complete, gather all your hair (including the braids) into a high or low ponytail, depending on your preference.
- Secure the ponytail with a hair tie.
Finish the Look
- You can gently tug on the edges of the braids to make them look fuller and more relaxed.
- Optional: Spray a bit of hairspray to keep everything in place.

TIPS

For a more boho look, you can leave some strands out around your face.
You can also pancake the braids by gently pulling them apart to make them look fuller.
Adding accessories like hair clips or ribbons can elevate the style.
