Just wanted to show you something i tried today. 2 French lace braids in to a folded braid i really like how this looks

I'm going swimming with my boys so don't want to wear any hair toys in case they fall out.

I do a good french or english braid - but my dutch ... well, never did understand how to do it - and my hands wouldn't do the right turns.

BUT to night I thought it was time to try again and behold!!

Not quite straight, but maybe it'll get better next time. Or maybe just say, that it's the way it was ment to be

Beautiful braids, all around!

W2, great Dutch braid, especially considering it's your first!

Here are some more braids, a couple which I've shared in other threads.

It's called an "Antenna Braid"? Cool - not only am I learning new hair styles, I'm learning names for things I've just been doing for years! LOL Thanks Yohzik!

This looks amazing. How on earth did you do it?

So i have wanted to do the variation on the English braid that someone posted and i finally managed it

At the moment i can only do it with two bands and only a 4 strand English braid but, hey its progress. I just add the normal 3 sections as you would normally and then just add in the 4 sections its actually not that complicated

Bunzfan, the braid looks great! Could you explain how to do it?

Haha, no problem.

This is the name that Loepsie calls it on the youtube tutorial from which I learned the style.

Thank you! A 3x3 braid is three braids braided into a plain, 3-stranded braid. The three smaller braids I made were herringbone instead of English, which creates a pretty effect.
