Double Dutch Ponytail Braid

 

Braids have been a staple style in the history of hair. This symbolic style has been a sign of societal status, ethnicity, religion and more.

Did you know that besides making you look pretty, braids have many benefits for your hair?

  • They prevent breakage.

  • They lock in moisture.

  • They protect your hair from the environment.

  • They help your hair to grow faster.

Braiding your hair before bed also has many benefits.

Braiding your hair before bed might help you to get the softest, smoothest, healthiest looking hair.
I have some advice for you for the best way to braid your hair before bed.

  • Run a hair serum or oil (rosemary oil or jojoba oil work perfectly) before braiding your hair so your hair will remain frizz-free.

  • If you have dry hair use a moisturizer before braiding your hair. This will add shine and volume to your hair.

  • Do not braid your hair too tight. Allow your hair to breathe a little.

In this post, I want to share with you one of my favorite braid types, it’s called dutch braid. I love this type of braid because I think it is a pretty look for a picnic day or if you are going to brunch with your girls. Also, this type of braid is perfect to wear to go to the gym, for school or during your vacations it will always make you look so pretty.

A Dutch braid

(also called an inverted French braid or pineapple braid) is created when the three hair sections are crossed under each other, instead of over. It results in the look of a braid standing up from the rest of the hair, instead of being under the hair.
