- Hair tie
- Brush
- Rat Tail Comb
- Marcel
You will need each supply to help you create a beautiful up-do. *knowledge of how to do a dutch braid will be necessary
Brushing the Hair
Thoroughly brush the hair out, so no knots are in it.
Creating the Part
Grab your rat tail comb, and you want to create a side part.
Bye Bye Frizz
(Optional) Before you begin the braid, if you would like to add some hair spray to avoid frizziness and collect all the tiny hairs that may be up.
Beginning the Braid
To begin the dutch braid, you will want to grab a small section of hair and split it into three strands. One strand on the right will go under into the middle. You would like to do the same with the left strand (under into the middle)
Adding Hair
After having a start piece, you will add hair and repeat step 4. You will take a small section of hair, add it to the strand you are currently working on, and go under.
Adding More Hair
You will do the same process for the other strand. Grab hair and go under the strand in the middle.
Pulling Out Pieces
(Optional) You are welcome to pull out a very tiny section of the front pieces.
Grabbing Hair From the Side
Once you start getting closer to the back of the head, you will grab a section from the side and continue to add it to the braid (steps 4 & 5).
Finish the Braid
From here, you will braid down to the other side to create a side braid adding the elastic at the end.
Adding Volume to the Braid
(Optional) You will pinch the braid on both sides to create more volume
Creating the Bun
You will take the end of your braid and put it inside the braid to create a bun. You could also roll it into a bun.
Secure the Bun
You will want to take your hair pins/bobby pins to hold the bun secure. Making sure the hair tie does not show.
Curling the Front Pieces
If you took out the front pieces, you would want to add hair protector spray and use the marcel to curl the pieces.
Final Look
The final step will be to apply hair spray to finish the look!
