Half-Up Dutch Crown Braid Hairstyle | SIMPLE & EASY

FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 👉🏻 / alexgaboury
Today's video I'm sharing this east crown braids for Spring & Summer. I think they're so pretty and feminine, and great as prom hairstyles, Wedding hairstyles, Graduation hairstyles, & any event.
This one is a particular favourite because it's easier than most, and the dutch braiding allows for your braid to be nice and chunky which you guys know I love.

[@Aryakitty]

I used this hairstyle for my prom, and got so many compliments on it! Gorgeous style! Thank you Alex

[@hrmmmmm]

this is so beautiful! and it looks like it doubles as an arm workout lol

[@jesselenah]

Seriously considering this look for my upcoming wedding!

[@belindabeli6064]

This is a perfect tutorial. Hopefully I can mimic this on my daughter for a quince tomorrow. Thanks!

[@Josefinelundbyo]

This is absolutely stunning! I'll definitely try this! Might wear it for a weeding soon! 😍😍

[@thetravelcrunch]

Thank you for sharing! I have similar hair to you so I love that I discovered your page. I am usually so plain with my hair but am in awe of beautiful, feminine hairstyles like this and really want to change!

[@rachelcabero5314]

i love how you explain and how you make it simple and easy to follow

[@konouichi]

Thank you for showing that repositioning hands part it helped soo much! Love all your videos!

[@AlexGaboury]

konouichi Yeah? Ok I can do that more often! You're the best. ❤️

[@rj3892]

konouichi omg why is that part always so hard 😵 LOL!

[@AlexGaboury]

Ria Johnson 😭 I know!

[@MsREALGoddess]

BEST LESSON ABOUT BRAID!!!THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!))VERY BEAUTIFUL😘

[@mellowdee077]

This tutorial is brilliant! I just struggling so hard to do it on my wig on a head stand 😑 I find it so much easier to do when it’s on my head, but then it looks terrible when I grab uneven pieces and it shows the cap (it’s just a cheap wig) I scrambling to get it perfect in 3 days to have it pre done on my wig for my friends wedding as her MOH!! My good wig I ordered never arrived !! Hopefully I can master this because my hands automatically start doing the over braid 🤣 Wish me luck!

[@vanillamoon2573]

I loved it! Thank you so much!💕 I’m new to dutch braids, but I’ll practice and rewatch to get the hang of it✨

[@ingridgibskipec5722]

Thank you, I love the way you explained it…best tutorial I’ve seen.😍🥰

[@AlexGaboury]

🙋🏼 Anyone else enjoying the long weekend?!

[@bobmag5058]

So dutch braid technically means braiding the regular braid but taking the strands underneath instead of over? And taking strands from one side and taking it under?

[@bobmag5058]

Can you do a tutorial only on types of braiding's?

[@bombgyuismylife]

Yass

[@cmugurl2840]

I love this style on you! I’ve tried about 10 times and can’t get it right though 😔

[@ajithak7675]

Mee too

[@ivyhazelco]

This is amazing! I was worried about trying this but your tutorial is great x

[@wdwhrvy2357]

u explain soo clearly not like others they just do it in fast mode #u got new subs. i so excited as am being able to do a hairstyle watching this but RIP my hands....awww that hurts love this vid will always watch ur vids from now... i have brown hair n faux also plz do more videos like this n do one but tying all hair not leaving any hair

[@sarahstroud6021]

i love your hair color so much!! my blonde always comes out brassy!!this braid reminds me of a princess!!😃😃

[@AlexGaboury]

Sarah Stroud Purple shampoo is my best friend haha! 😘

[@modanailedit6765]

Beautiful. Thanks for showing us how to change the arm position when switching from front to back.

[@AlexGaboury]

Moda Nailed It I think I'm going to start showing more raw footage vs. Edited. Sometimes I make mistakes while creating these tutorials and edit it out, maybe I'll start adding those clips to the end, and they might be more helpful. What do you think?

[@rj3892]

Alex Gaboury I'm over-commenting lol but I gotta share that one of my favorite nail artists makes a point of leaving in her mistakes and explaining what she did to fix it, or just embrace the imperfections! 🙃 She and her channel are so much fun +ohmygoshpolish ❤❤❤

[@AlexGaboury]

LOL, no such thing! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. You've made up my mind for me, I will find a way to include the mistakes, and embrace those imperfections. I love this.

[@starlight8344]

Will be doing this for prom

[@SamanthaWeisbach]

You are sooo talented!!! Like how are you so good at hair?! ❤️😍

[@AlexGaboury]

Samantha Weisbach Stoppppppp! Hahaha. ❤️

[@LIFEBYLIEN]

Thanks, i’ll try it tonight. I’m Dutch, so it has to done. Happy New years eve!

[@MerianeDawn]

I always have a problem in securing my braids using bobby pins. I always end up with too much bobby pins and are not even laying flat on my head :(

[@AlexGaboury]

Meriane Dawn Oh no! I try to bobby pin small amounts of hair and use more of them, vs. Trying to pin a lot of hair with less. I hope that helps. ❤️

[@MerianeDawn]

Alex Gaboury that's what I'm always doing lol thank you so much for this tip 💕

[@rj3892]

Meriane Dawn Have you tried the bobby pins that have a curve to them? They're ​easier to get them to lay flat, at least in my experience!

[@rj3892]

Meriane Dawn Oh and you may want to try "spin pins" as well! I found large and small ones by Goody on Amazon​ ;) They are really, really secure! I use them in buns and braids, esp when my hair is freshly washed and too slippery to stay put!

[@AlexGaboury]

Ria Johnson Im going to get my hands on all types of bobby pins and start testing them out haha. It's time to find the best of the best!

[@twominutetips]

Lovely and of course smart use of an extension on your thinner side.

[@AlexGaboury]

twominutetips You're always so kind, thank you! ❤️

[@twominutetips]

You're most welcome.

[@blxckecxp6492]

I love this hairstyle so much, thank you!! I'm gonna wear this when I go to my family meeting because I want to do something beautiful and you helped me a lot ❤❤ oh and one question: did you have layers in this video or is your hair one layer/same length?

[@AlexGaboury]

Hi Lilian! I only get layers cut into the front, any other layers throughout my hair have just happened naturally (breakage haha). :)

[@angelawishart4238]

This was an amazing tutorial!, thanks

[@Tracks777]

Goob job! :) Keep it up!

[@AlexGaboury]

MisterBassBoost Thank you! 🙌🏻

[@BT.318]

So beautiful! Im going to try it!

[@arijkhalique6352]

I really love you hair tutorials they are amazing. I always watch you hair tutorials and I really like the styles that you do. Xxx

[@parcheesybananaphone5457]

Thanks for the tutorial!! I'll definitely be wearing this at my friend's wedding next month but I don't think it will look as beautiful as yours haha :) I will try though!!

[@AlexGaboury]

Julianna Harper 😍 So glad you liked it! It also looks great if you grab smaller sections too! I hope you have a great time at your friend’s wedding! ❤️

[@elibjo01]

You are so pretty😍 I probably have to bleach my roots soon because it is coming alot of roots out now, it looks a little cool and undone until it grows out too much. I have gone so long now without using heat and my hair has no split ends and is smooth, sleek and shiny because I use hair masks weekly.

[@AlexGaboury]

You are seriously the best. That's why I LOVE the appearance of roots, that effortless, undone look is my favourite. I totally understand though, they get to a point where they no longer look effortless, and more apparent it's time for a colour. But I bet your hair looks gorgeous! What masks are you loving right now?

[@KageTenshiiRyuu]

Thanks for this! I sometimes see lolita wigs with this and never knew how to do it.

[@stephanielopez6394]

I love your hair styles, and there so easy to follow ♡♡♡

[@niskamelchionne1942]

Its very pretty. Especially when you have thick hair like your looks better

[@BasoSonia]

Wearing this hairstyle to Homecoming

[@lindsaypatch1938]

Hey I'm thinking about doing this hairstyle for prom but have a quick question! Would I be better to curl my whole head of hair and then do the braids, or do the braids and everything first and then curl it?

[@annieyang9031]

I love your part and the bang! Could you make a video about em

[@AlexGaboury]

Annie Yang come to think of it I've never made a, "bang" video, I'll start brainstorming!

[@annieyang9031]

Alex Gaboury thanks,that'd be great

[@rj3892]

Annie Yang Yes I second that!! I love your side parted bangs so much Alex 😘❤

[@hiramalik_31]

hey alex . how are you ? the hairsryle is lovely 💜 can you suggest me a good shampoo and conditioner for hair fall .😕 i've tried everything but my hair fall doesn't stop

[@AlexGaboury]

Hira Malik Hi Hera, I am great, just drinking some coffee. ☺️ I use Nizoral for my dry scalp, & was told it also helps with hair loss, maybe something to look into?

[@hiramalik_31]

+Alex Gaboury ah thanks 🙌

[@samanthat575]

I just cannot do the back. I get so flustered and end up dropping the sections and messing it up

[@glitterq4949]

Love your channel I'm a new subscriber 😊Have you any advice on what brand is the best clip in hair extensions? This style would be great for a wedding I'm going to but I need more hair!!xx

[@AlexGaboury]

Glitter Q Thank you so much! Would you be able to send me a picture of your hair colour? Do you have highlights, or a solid colour?

[@allidaff]
