Five-Strand Braid If you can practically French braid in your sleep after years of practicing on anyone who would let you play hairdresser, try changing it up with this five-section braid from Luxy Hair. The basket-weave style even makes the limpest hair look thick and gorgeous.
Bonus tip: Since there are five sections of hair to keep track of (instead of the classic three sections), repeat the steps "over" and "under" to yourself as you braid. Remember, there should always be a section of hair in the middle and two sections of hair on either side.
This is soooooo great! I tried french braiding my hair before & complete failure...my hair is super thick, greasy, and straight but I will definitely give these tutorials a try!
The "half dutch braid" is called a "lace braid". Also, for a DUTCH braid, you ARE bringing the pieces UNDER the center strand not over. You bring them OVER for a french braid.
It was fun to see all these braids in one article. I've always loved braiding since I was a kid & have always believed they're for every age, despite some people's opinions. I have been loving all the new videos sharing tips. I especially love CuteGirlsHairstyles and was so glad they got to be in this article. :)
I love braiding my hair and I am always looking for some new way to do it! I actually favorited almost all of these videos on my youtube account! Thank you.
