Dutch Braid to Low Bun By Amber

 

 

This hairstyle starts out like you are doing  a partial french braid only backwards . Also we are leaving some of the hair down on the sides.

You pull up the front section of hair.  Using a comb to start helps you have a guide.

 Divide it into three sections.

 Instead of braiding right over the middle, you go right under the middle.

 Then left  under the middle and continue on pulling the sections under instead of over.

 You add hair as you braid from each side back and forth.  Remember to leave hair partly down on the sides.

 

 On this particular hair style, you eyeball the parts on the sides.

 Do your best trying to follow the parts as you add hair.

 Continue until about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the nape with hair hanging down underneath.

 Finish the braid off  and add an elastic.

  Pull the pieces out to make it look fuller.

  

 

  Roll the braid up underneath itself and pin in place.

 

 Take the rest of the hair and do a standard braid loosely.

 Add an elastic. 

 Pull the pieces out to make it look fuller than it is.  Start at the bottom so that you can adjust the elastic.

 Wrap it around the bun.

 Attach with a bobby pin underneath.

 Continue to add more bobby pins as needed.

 Pin tightly underneath.

 If you want it to sit high, pull it up and re-secure until it sits how you want.
