DIY Dutch Braid Tutorial 

Step 1: Brush your hair and make sure it doesn't have tangles.

Step 2: Part your hair (you can choose a middle or side part) and separate to two sides.

Step 3: Pick a side to start. Take a section of hair and divide into three equal sections. 

Step 4: Cross the first outer strand under the middle strand. Then, cross the other outer strand under the middle strand. 

Step 5: Pick up another strand of hair and cross it under the middle. Then, do the same with a section of hair on the other side. Keep replacing the middle strand with the new sections of hair you are pulling in. 

Step 6: Repeat the process on the other side! Then, practice, practice, practice until you can create amaze Dutch braids.
