1. Classic Dutch Braid for Straight Hair
Best for: Fine to medium straight hair
Vibe: Sleek, structured, and perfect for a polished look
How to do it:
- Brush hair to remove all tangles and part it down the middle.
- Take a section near the hairline and divide into three strands.
- Cross the right strand under the middle, then the left under the new middle.
- Continue this pattern, adding more hair each time from the sides.
- Secure with a clear elastic and pull gently at loops for volume.
Tip: Mist with a light hairspray to prevent flyaways.
2. Loose Boho Braid for Wavy Hair

Vibe: Effortless and romantic with Easter florals or lace
How to do it:
- Create a deep side part and divide hair into three sections.
- Begin a loose three-strand braid from the ear down.
- Braid halfway, then secure with a small elastic.
- Tug braid pieces apart to “pancake” and fluff.

Pro Tip: Apply a texturizing spray before braiding for grip and fullness.
