STEP-BY-STEPS
CREATE CENTRE PARTING TO BOTTOM OF HEAD
TIE AWAY ONE SIDE
Once parted, tie away one side with an elastic.
AT TOP OF OTHER SIDE, CREATE TRIANGLE SECTION AND SPLIT IN THREE
Starting at the top of the other side, take a triangle section and divide into three.
TOP TIP: To create a Dutch braid (which sits prominently away from the head), the technique goes under rather than over.
PASS INNER STRAND UNDER MIDDLE STRAND
Take the inner strand of hair and pass it under the middle strand.
PASS OUTER STRAND UNDER MIDDLE STRAND
Then take the outer strand and pass it under the middle strand.
ADD SMALL AMOUNT OF HAIR TO STRANDS AND PASS UNDER AGAIN
On the second pass, start to add a small amount of hair, taking the time to ensure it’s neat, and then pass under.
CONTINUE THIS TECHNIQUE, ADDING HAIR EACH PASS
Continue this technique, continually adding hair and passing under each time.
TOP TIP: Keep your sections tight will create a more defined braid.
ONCE AT THE BOTTOM, SECURE
Once you reach the bottom of the head, secure the hair with a clear elastic.
REPEAT ON OTHER SIDE
Repeat the braiding technique on the other side of your head.
GENTLY FLATTEN BRAID
Pull gently on the braid to flatten.
SPRAY REMAINING HAIR WITH CURL HOLD PRODUCT
Spritz the remaining hair on each braid with ghd curly ever after curl hold spray.
TWIST WRAP HAIR AROUND CURLING WAND
Using the ghd curve® creative curl wand, take random sections and twist wrap around the barrel, holding for 5-8 seconds.
