The two row Dutch braids and buns are basically based on one main hairstyle – the Dutch braid. This type of a braid is a lot like the French one, except that it follows the inverted pattern of the French braid. This is the reason why the Dutch braid is also popularly called the inverted braid.
Here, we bring you two different hairstyles that center on the Dutch braid and as long as you know how to make that, you can easily do the hairstyles shown here.
Below are the steps to make the Dutch braid. However, don’t start right away on it – do so only after you go to the section on “Steps for the Two Row Dutch Braids”. There it has been mentioned when to start with the Dutch braid.
Steps for making the Dutch braid

- Divide the section into three parts – where the middle part is the thickest and the other two sides are thinner.
- Now take the middle part and again divide into three sub sections. Place the right sub section under the center, and then place the left sub section under the center. So basically the braiding begins like a normal one, the only difference is that instead of placing each part over another – you place them under.
- Now slowly start adding strands from the main right part (the one belonging to the original parting) and add them to the strands of the right sub section (the subparting which is being used to make the braid) when you are placing them under the center.
- Repeat the above step with the left main part and left sub section.
- Keep on repeating the above two steps till you run out of strands from the main part to add to the Dutch braid. At this stage make a normal braid till you reach the tips of your hair
- Secure in place with a hair elastic.
