Double Dutch Braids

step one: Create centre parting to bottom of head

Brush hair with ghd tail comb and create a centre parting all the way to the bottom of the head.

step two: Tie away one side

Once parted, tie away one side with an elastic.

step three: At top of other side, create triangle section and split in three

Starting at the top of the other side, take a triangle section and divide into three.

TIP: To create a Dutch braid (which sits prominently away from the head), the technique goes under rather than over.

Take the inner strand of hair and pass it under the middle strand.

step five: Pass outer strand under middle strand

Then take the outer strand and pass it under the middle strand.

step six: Add small amount of hair to strands and pass under again

On the second pass, start to add a small amount of hair, taking the time to ensure it’s neat, and then pass under.

step seven: Continue this technique, adding hair each pass

Continue this technique, continually adding hair and passing under each time.

TIP: Keep your sections tight will create a more defined braid.

step eight: Once at the bottom, secure

Once you reach the bottom of the head, secure the hair with a clear elastic.

step nine: Repeat on other side

Repeat the braiding technique on the other side of your head.

step ten: Gently flatten braid

Pull gently on the braid to fatten.

step eleven: Spray remaining hair with curl hold product

Spritz the remaining hair on each braid with ghd curl hold spray.

step twelve: Twist wrap hair around curling wand

Using the ghd curve® creative curl wand, take random sections and twist wrap around the barrel, holding for 5-8 seconds.

Continue curling the hair in any direction for a loose and tousled texture.
