Tools and materials:
- Comb
- 1 ponytail holder
- 1 clear hair elastic
Here’s what a regular Dutch braid would look like, and it can be tricky to do on yourself.
1. Part your hair
Start by parting your hair with a triangle part. It’s helpful to use a comb with a pointed end.
2. Braid the hair in front of the part
Next, braid a regular, 3 strand braid with the hair in front of the part. Make sure to cross the sections tightly.
Then, secure the end of the braid with a clear hair elastic.
3. Make a half ponytail and a hole in your braid
Put the rest of your hair half up using a regular ponytail holder. Then, make a hole at the end of your braid.
4. Thread the ponytail through the hole
Lastly, put your half ponytail through the hole that you made at the end of the braid.
Here’s the final look. As you can see, I made a high half ponytail.
