Hey guys welcome to my channel., I am Maryam. In today’s video. I am going to teach you how to braid your own hair in this two Dutch braid hairstyle, which is so trendy and so popular right now.. It has been worn by everyone from Kim Kardashian to her sisters, JLO back in the day to myself when I was in high school and today as well., Because it is just such a great hairstyle, especially for dirty hair, especially hair. That needs a haircut, especially if you want to look nice, cute and snatched honey., Remember to subscribe, comment down below and hit the notification bell. If you want to be notified of my next video., Let's get to this tutorial., Let's do this.. My hair is already brushed out, but I am going to brush it out one more time for good measure just to make sure there are no kinks.. I am going to put a little bit of this oil just on the ends of my hair.. I am using the L’Oréal extraordinary oil lustrous oil serum, and I am going to list and link all the products down below for your convenience.. You absolutely don't NEED to use the oil. For me, it helps with separating the hair and it helps with braiding. Next. I am going to create a very straight part, or as straight as I can., I am going to smooth the hair to the side and them I am just going to turn over with my mirror, and I am going to check whether that part is crisp and Straight. One of the things I find super important when doing the two braids on yourself is to make sure that when you are working on one side, you clip away the second side as tightly as possible., So that no hair from this side would interfere with the One that you are working on., I am going to use an elastic and tie it in a little bun here, and I may even clip it just to make sure that it is nice, tight and clean.. The next thing that I like to do is spray some type of spray, some type of gel or like rub a pomade or something that would give me just a little bit of grip. Today I am using, is ’Kérastase Spray À Porter' flexible, hold hairspray.. I am just going to rub it through my hair strands, just to make sure that this top part is evenly coated.. At this point, I am ready to start the braiding process. Before I even go on any further. Let me point out that if you know how to braid a regular braid, a three-strand braid., Then you for certain know how to Dutch braid and how to French braid., The Dutch braid and the French braid are basically the same thing. You start with three sections. For the Dutch braid. You start with the center section. First, you flip it over the side and you braid it as you normally would., Then once you get to flipping it a second time you add a strand of hair to the section.. It'S actually going to be much easier for me to show you than to tell you.. I am going to take this really small section of hair right here, separate it into three strands., Take the center section and flip it over one of the sides, and then you take the new center section and flip it over the other side., The smaller the section. The closer your braid will start.. As you continue to braid your hair. You will be adding new sections of hair into the three strands.. I usually like to look at myself in the mirror for the front part.. Once I get past my view, I just do it by feel.. So for now I am still looking into the mirror and still adding these sections in.. I am just trying to concentrate on keeping this braid as straight as possible.. You do not have to keep this braid close to your part, like I am.. If you notice, Kim K’s braids go a little bit more to the side of her head, but I think that is more flattering to her head and face shape.. She has a longer face shape than I do, but because I am a little bit more round or square, I prefer to keep my braids at the top of my head as opposed to the side.. I just find it a little bit more flattering for me, personally.. Whenever I am doing my hair or whenever I am concentrating on braiding, I tend to do the funniest face in the mirror.. I always do this weird kissy duck-lips face and if I could try to do it right now, I couldn’t possibly imitate it.. It'S just my concentration face.. I do not know why I do it. Everybody always comments on it in all of my hair tutorials, but it is not something that I can control.. Moreover, it doesn't make me a bad person, it doesn't make me a bitch and it doesn't make me dumb.. It is just a habit that I have, and I am not sorry it is what it is. You got. Ta love me either way.. I have come to the point of the braid, where I can no longer see it in the mirror, so I am going to turn around and finish my braid with the back of my head facing you. Here I am continuing the braid and I am doing this By feel. Separating these sections of hair, with my fingernail, adding them to the three strands as I am braiding along, and I am trying to stay close to my part without pulling the braid too much towards my ears.. Here is where it is really helpful to have the other part of your hair away, a bun so that you are not grabbing the sections of hair that belong to the other. Side.. Do not worry if it look a little imperfect at this point. You can always fix that later., The more imperfect it is, the more grungy and cool it looks that's kind of my belief. Once you get to this part. It is sometimes helpful to just bend forward a little bit. Now that we are down to the actual braid that is not connected to your head. I am going to flip back around and I am just going to finish this braid here.. I am going to use these clear elastics from ‘Goody’ the smallest size possible just to secure this braid in place. Once this braid is done. The second one is, for some reason is much easier.. I am going to so the exact same thing I am going to brush out this hair. I am going to spray a little bit of gel.. I am going to create three sections, starting with the center one. First, flipping it over one side, flipping it back under and then adding just a little bit of hair to the sections.. Now I am going to flip my braid to the other side and I am just going to finish the process.. Finally, because keeping your hands and your arms above your head is so painful. And I don't have the most upper body strength.. So, for me it's just a bit strenuous. I am not going to lie.. If you don’t work out on the regular, then you might be a little tired after this, but it is really not that bad.. If I can do it, you can definitely do it.. Once I am done with my two braids I like to pull on the braid to make it more fat and even.. You can do it throughout the Dutch pat of the braid, and you can also do it throughout the actual loose part of the braid.. This is going to give you a much more current trendy look to your braids.. Some people like seeing the separated sections of the braid I personally don’t., I just brush it back with a comb, and I like to just blend them a little bit. I like to fill in my hairline. A little bit of brown shadow, this one from the ‘Tartelette’ Palette., Whenever you pull your hair into a braid, it always exposes this very bald. Looking section., There is actually a product for this that I do not have handy right now, but I will link it down below for you guys and I think it works even better than eyeshadow., Don't feel like you have to get it. I think eyeshadow is a really great trick.. I have pinned that little guy back and I have re-braided this braid a little bit.. It was just too loose for my liking.. I am going to do one final thing and that is brush out my baby, hairs/edges and sleek them in place.. I am going to use this hourglass mascara for the brows. You absolutely do not need to use this one.. You can use any brow gel or any gel, but I think brow gel is a little bit better because it is meant for thicker brow hairs.. I quite prefer a brow gel over a regular gel.. I am basically brushing them down and sweeping them over to create this kind of style.. One final touch: I am going to use this ‘L’Oréal Elnett hair spray’. It'S got my name on it and I am going to add a couple of spritzes to the top.. Alright, maybe to the braid as well., That is it for the tutorial.. I know it does not look super-duper easy, but I promise you that with a couple of tries, If I can do it, then you can do it and become an expert.. You can wear this hairstyle when your hair is dirty whenever you want to look more funky and just a little bit more New York with an attitude. To me. It is the perfect hair for any occasion, plus it is very current and trendy, as per the Kardashians. Hope you guys enjoyed this video..

Sabrina Keller: Um. This is the FIRST time I've ever successfully done this hairstyle, usually I just want rip out my hair and throw and tantrum! This is amazing! Thank you so much!
SKN: Currently been trying at this for an hour lol. At first I couldn’t separate my hair, then I couldn’t put it into three parts, after that I couldn’t even start the braid. I’ve finally gotten to where I can add hair in, my arms just get tired quickly. Slowly making progress! I’ll update this when I’m done with BOTH sides
Madeline Newell: It’s so much harder when you have really long curly hair that’s dark so you can’t see what your doing

HazelTheWriter: Yes!! I have been trying to figure out this hairstyle for years and your video finally got me there! I always was taught braiding with the outside strands being used for reference so I would forget which side I was braiding doing Dutch and French braids.

Janine C: I got further than I ever have with this tutorial. thank you :)
simple ky: I did this for the first time today after watching this! For the longest time I would just say I couldn’t do it and give up after trying once. But today I stayed calm and kept trying. I accidentally did a french braid instead of a dutch braid but still i’ve never done either before. It’s also not the best braid but still not bad so I’m excited ☺️
Lightspeed: Spent 4 months French braiding my hair every day after never being able to do it. Moving up a bit further each time I did it finally learnt and can do it to the top of my head now no issue. Now I need to master Dutch braids you say its the same but I still can't do it!!

itsmoora: I, for the LIFE of me, cannot braid straight back on my own head. I can NEVER keep it close to the part and it's inFURIATING
Olivia: Edit: Thanks for all the likes! Never understand how these come out so neat?! Mine always look like they’ve been dragged through a bush and then some
I like Cheesecake: for any of y’all struggling, would recommend starting with like a two part braid on the side of your head, so get a small section of hair exactly where you would for this, split it into 2, twist the one at the front over the other one twice then start to pick up more hair in like, a twist, so it’s like this but easier and just tie it at the bottom :) i’ve been doing this for a while and it makes this easier for some reason
I believe in Sprite supremacy 💀🔫: I tried this for the first time and it turned really good just bcuz of your tips
Tee: finally figured it out. had to redo both sides a whole bunch of times but thankfully my muscle memory kicked in after the first couple of times. I'd recommend watching the video a couple of times and then sitting with a mirror in front of a mirror and getting to it. Watching the video, keeping an eye on the mirror and doing the braids simultaneously is simply impossible (for me) because my attention and patience gets divided far too much. you dont really need any extra clips. Just leave one side as a simple ponytail so it doesnt get in the way. Nothing fancy required. and most importantly take breaks in between. Just lean your arms against some wall or high chair or something (in the raised position ofc so no strands get mixed up). saving this video to my workout playlist thanks :D
Katy R: Great braiding video!! I love your clear explanations!! Do a video that describes how you switch hands when braiding your own hair.
Khushi Patel: me: *collects 3 chunks* also me: *gets confused, gives up and cries*
Bella Camilo: No matter where you pause it, she ALWAYS looks good!!!
Erikka Reyess: This tutorial really help, also your braids are really pretty!!
Athena Johnson: For the oil, use a castor oil and water mixture. It helps with hair growth too
Erin Katie Stewart: Absolutely loved the video and found it very useful as a beginner
Joannie Wang: when you have dark black hair and can't see wtf you're doing T_T
owoza powoza: my mom used to braid my hair but i moved out recently and this helped me alot

freya: i decided to "glow up" for when I go back to school because of quarantine.. Thought this would be a good idea. Turns out im not patient at all. Basically I watched the start and gave up. I will just straighten my hair for school
fresh amira: Thank you I can braid now! ❤️
r: * understands perfectly * * tries with confidence * * fails * * THROWS HAIRBRUSH AND GEL * * cries inside * * storms off furiously back into bed * :,( tRigGeReD [edit: thanks for the likes uwu]
David: The part where you have to get hair outside of the three usual sections is so hard! Especially in long hair
Flor: It took me 5 hours to finally learn it BTW I am from Phillipines

Valina Luera: See, I French braid my hair all the damn time, but it’s never tight at the top, idk what I do wrong but I can never do the top half of my braid right, when I get to the middle and bottom it looks great!
Cristina L: I can do this, and I’m only 14. The first time I did them I was in 6th grade and my friends made fun of me for how ugly they were. I’ve practiced and practiced since then and in 8th grade I’m a complete pro at these. It takes patience and dedication to learn to do these braids.
Mariam Kauser: Thank you so much I learnt this in 5 mins xx
Antonio BendHerAzz: As a dad wanting to switch up the regular two side braids, I think this will be great for my daughter and easy for me
Kotek: Great video and absolutely doable with her direction, but it will take practice. I had to take mine down several times before I got them to look good enough to show myself in public. Beware, you’re fingers will hurt while constantly holding all the pieces tight enough. But, when you get the hang of it they are super cute and girly. I put so much work into mine that I’m going to sleep on my face
constance ♡︎: *I DID IT! I STRUGGLED FOR 2 DAYS BUT I WATCHED THIS ONE AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU JUST HAVE TO REVERSE THE USUAL BRAID WE DO, BE POSITIVE GUYS I LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN I FINISHED THE BRAID, I WASNT LOOKING I JUST DID IT CONTINUOSLY NEVER DOUBT!*
