Hair Tutorial: Dutch Flower Braid

A couple of weeks again we shared the way to create a Flower Fishtail Braid and immediately we’re persevering with with one other hair tutorial from Layered Vintage – the Dutch Flower Braid! Jill from Layered Vintage created a blooming braid bar (which you’ll see beneath, so fairly!) and had some enjoyable with flowers creating Floral Hair Swag so as to add to your locks. She thinks flowers had been meant to be in our hair and we couldn’t agree extra! Let’s see how she did this one…

Beforehand add texture spray to hair, run a curling iron via the hair creating gentle spirals, coat with hairspray after which calmly brush via the curls.

Step 1: Seize a portion of hair from the highest of the top (or the place the pure half begins) and begin French Braiding however beneath as an alternative of on high which is by definition a Dutch Braid. End off with a transparent rubber band.

Tip: Depart bangs or gentle shorter items that body across the face. You possibly can re curl and contact them up afterwards if they’re too stringy or depart as is only for softness. Pull gently on sides of the braid, tug on left and proper aspect to “loosen” or widen/thicken the braid’s look.

Step 2: Tease the hair across the braid.

Step 3: Seize small sections of unfastened hair and twist and bobby pin beneath to the bottom of the neck. Proceed layering small loops overlaying your head.

Step 4: For this explicit model it’s essential to select components with form that can spotlight the right messiness that the layered loops of hair have created. It’s greatest to start out in a single nook and work your approach round pulling in numerous textures and sizes and constructing as you go.

“This braid was bigger that means small particulars wouldn’t get hidden from including florals in. The magenta Brunia with it’s little bell-like blooms was excellent to start out on the aspect with no braid after which add into the precise braid as if it was a floral headband. Once I received to the aspect of the braid I went somewhat lighter on the Brunia by tucking it into the braid and having some items disguise.”
