step by step
Creating French Braids
- Brush through your hair using your CLOUD NINE Paddle Brush to make your hair knot free
- Part your hair down the middle into two even sections
- On your first side take a small section of hair (3-4 inches wide) separate this from the rest of your hair
- Separate this section of hair into 3 even sections with your fingers
- Start by plaiting a traditional braid by crossing the “right” strand over to the center. Then, cross the “left” strand from over to the center. Repeat until you've made a few rows of a traditional braid
- Work in new hair on each section, before crossing each section overtake some hair from the side of your head and include it in the cross over
- Keep the hair in your sections tight and continue to the ends of your hair. Once the first side french braid is complete, secure with a small elastic
- Repeat this on the second side of your hair… And there you have it, two french braids!
- For a softer braid pull your braids out slightly
- Add your favourite hair charm to elevate your look
*Top tip- This look can be done on wet and dry hair. Braid wet hair for beachy waves

Dutch vs French Braids - What's The Difference?
Both dutch and french braids are a fun easy way to switch up your everyday hairstyles.
The main difference between a french and dutch braid is that a french braid tends to cross pieces over the middle section,
whereas a dutch braid typically crosses pieces under the middle section.
