How To French & Dutch Braid Your Own Hair

[@ashleyguthrie572]

After 22 years of life, I have just successfully dutch braided my hair for the first time!

[@emiliesfineartstudio304]

I just recently discovered how to do Dutch braids on my own head, and man. I gotta say, it sure gives my arms a work out every time I do it! hahah Trying to remember to go under instead of over like the French braid has taken some practice!

[@peekaboots01]

Good for you. I've never gotten how to do either.

[@RC-gd7nt]

OH MY GOSH!!! Im a 41 yr old mum who can french braid my 7 yr old daughter's hair but never my own. Ive watched SO many tutorials and never could get it. And i just followed yours and now i have a dutch braid IN MY OWN HAIR!!! Thank you so so much! The first step of leaving some hair out at the start is so helpful!! Now to practice since its not the neatest ha ha ....

[@sisterclp]

The first tip is the key. Not looking into the mirror anymore really unlocked it for me. I also practiced a lot - on the bus, while watching a series,... your hands will get used to it eventually.

[@tiaraperegrina227]

I HAVE TRIED FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG TO TRY AND FRENCH BRAID AND I SUCCESSFULLY HAVE DONE IT!!! i literally ran out of my room and asked my mom if i actually did it because I've never been able to, thank you sooooo much for this video now i can stop asking people to do it for me.

[@aparajitadas2813]

I've been trying this for soo long and it worked. no other KZbin video worked and this did it just shows how good it is

[@kristichallans6175]

I have watched many French/Dutch braiding tutorials in my life, but only after watching yours have I ever successfully French braided my own hair. 6 hours later, and nothing has fallen out of place! Success! Thank you for the clear steps!

[@aliiannucci3135]

Pretty sure I learned from the first video as well...but I find Dutch braids so much easier; it's the way that feels natural for me. I have to think extra hard to do a French braid and it's never as tight...the tip to think about it as tucking the center strand under will probably help me, because "under" feels better for me. 100% agree with "no looking"...my braids turn out so much better when I just do it by feel. You overthink when you look.

[@ilil835]

I've been watching like six or more videos already. This is the first explanation I understand, thank you girl 💖

[@katievedder8264]

I have struggled with braiding my own hair for years and you broke it down very simply and it works great. Wonderful video, thank you!

[@Girlwithadeathnote]

I'm pretty sure I first learned how to French and Dutch braid from your first video about it. Dutch besides are still my favorite kind of braid.

[@stephanysitarski6573]

Thank you thank you thank you for making this video!!!! I have tried so many times to learn how to French and Dutch braid and it never clicked as much as it has in this video!!! You made it so easy! Thank you Lopsie I love your videos!!

[@Kirito016-w5t]

hey! loepsie, you know what thankyou sooo much my schools were reopening and i always wanted to do a french braid and you are the one who taught me this....... i can finally have a new hairstyle to school rather than having a plain boring braid, with love from your new subscriber :D

[@irisl7817]

I love this video. Thank you so much for this new version. I watched the original, and it seemed a bit confusing from what I recall. Now all I need to do is practice and build up the braiding muscles in my arms. I feel the burn every time I try to braid my hair. Haha! But, you really are an excellent teacher. It takes a special gift to teach, to give directions that are easy to understand and pleasant to listen to. Thank you for sharing!

[@claudiapera87]

The best tutorial! I finaly understand! Please make a tutorial of crown braid?

[@wettissues3953]

Well mine goes smooth upto a point and thennnn my hand starts to hurt and..the last piece of hair that we cross always gets messed up☹

[@uvotmin]

yay a fellow Directioner😄

[@wettissues3953]

@@uvotmin yups🤣🤣❤

[@itzeldelacruz5851]

Sameeeee

[@ebullient_]

This has got to be the only tutorial I've seen explain these in a clear way that I could understand, dog bless

[@bmetz3843]

First video I've ever been able to follow to braid. I did it! thank u!

[@lindakim3051]

this tutorial is amazing, thank you so much for your help!! the simple but detailed way you explained how to manage the strands of hair is really what made the difference for me. my arms didn't even get tired doing it this way. I'm 31 and I've been trying to learn this skill since I was a little girl, so this is kind of momentous for me lol. Finally, the impossible feels possible!!!!

[@lindakim3051]

P.S. please never delete this video!! P.P.S. so excited for all the cute braided hairstyles in my future :)

[@MrsZeezeee]

OMG!! Why have i never heard about spreading the 3 parts of hair between diferent fingers??! Game changer!! Thank you so much, that helped tremendously

[@erinchorak9300]

Thank you so much! I was able to French/dutch braid my hair for the first time after watching this video!

[@amysimpson6950]

After seeing hundreds of videos, I could finally do both. Great video❤️ thankss

[@MonikaGym]

I've tried doing these braids before but after watching your video I feel like I understood better. I also feel like it is more comfortable for me to braid under. Thank you :)

[@erinradke1860]

I just can't seem to braid under! LOL Will keep trying.

[@annahorton4359]

Thank you so so much for this video!! I have been struggling so much to french braid my hair, and the technique you used to hold the strands helped me so much!! I'm finally able to do this!!

[@urlimelight]

another tip, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE i finally got my dutch braid after a whole year of trying and trying! but i always had my hair down and wherever i went i would just practice everywhere. in the car, in the store, on the bus. practice really is key ik i got sick of hearing that but it really does help so much!

[@lcwaves]

Great tutorial, I've been french braiding my hair for some time now and never realized how similar a dutch braid was to it - gonna go try it now!

[@zarasukumaran5750]

Girl I love you. Thanks for this video.

[@yunarikku2723]

This is the best french braid tutorial EVAR!

[@Lavender-Skiess]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. You had a lot of really great tips & described things really well. This is coming from someone that almost never styles their hair.

[@nicoleminervini6978]

What I’ve been looking for for ages, thank you for this tutorial! It was very helpful. Also, love your blouse ❤️

[@dorottyaszabo2516]

Thank you for the educational video. Your explanations helped.

[@alannadanyarnamaitar7330]

Feeling what you do with your hair is an useful skill. I learned how to braid my hair by braiding with my eyes closed and looking at the result when it's done

[@TheImperfectionistt]

Ohh my, I have watched several videos to figure out how to make my hair. But I got more and more confused until I watched yours:) love ya!

[@sarah.weaver]

I finally understand now why sometimes my braids come out french, and sometimes dutch. Over vs under! Duh! I feel so dumb rn but thank u for explaining it so clearly!

[@familycritchfield7376]

My hair kind of bunches together making it hard to separate, any tips on how to manage that?

[@calliem872]

Brush it well beforehand. Make sure you run you fingers down the whole of the length with each add-in, do it gently and don't pull it, if it gets tighter just kind of work it down and out. This is what I do for mine.

[@reginaromsey]

Two things I need to work on. My center section wants to be smaller than the outsides to start. Take off my rings! They always get in the way. I “forget” them because I don’t take them off often. Thank you for the clear instructions and the suggestions.

[@Danxoxox]

Muscle memory will take over guys! I started randomly braiding without a mirror when I wasn’t home (I really dislike putting my hair up into a bun/pont tail. I just have SO MUCH hair that’ll it look super bulky) and the first few times were rough. After some practice though it honestly became a habit and you don’t even have to think about it.

[@tiffanyhos3630]

Thank you for this video!!

[@AuroraHolisticLights]

This is very helpful. You've always been really good at explaining ❤️ thanks a lot, Lucy!

[@helenflaherty2569]

Tysm for this, now i can finally have nicer hair for school

[@moonaldulyme9488]

THANK YOU SO MUSH AND I LOVE YOU I. M FROM IRAQ 💞💞💕

[@winnyrosaliachristine8546]

This is very helpfull! Thanks a lot!

[@rose-mariedekoning8471]

I've never been able to figure out my hands, even when looking in the mirror. Guess I just have to feel my way! I will try this tomorrow!

[@rose-mariedekoning8471]

It worked! I did my very first dutch braid today! I'm so happy!

[@carlanunez2567]

1:19 I completely agree! (I’m learning how to braid my own hair cause I don’t want to bother my friends whenever I would like to have my hair braided anymore)

[@mare.3076]

Amazing !!! Definitely trying them 👍

[@solarstevie]

Because I first learned to braid by taking the outer stands under, I really really struggle with french braiding because my hands cannot seem to grasp the concept of going over no matter how hard I try. I'm pretty alright at dutch braiding though.

[@Li_ShuWei]

Good side by side comparison👍, but I still need to practice on my own.🙂

[@paigepelton4650]

Could you please do a tutorial on Ali Macgraw!!! I’m obsessed with her and her look

[@luciarecalde4476]

Thank you 😘

[@prantocj5545]

Wow awesome

[@nonra208]

I love u so much lucy ... Iam from ur followers who love u 😍😍 thanx for the video and ur video ❤❤❤

[@Hyukfied]

I find dutch braiding easier than french braid. I didn't realize I've been doing dutch until a few years ago haha. French braid is difficult for me cause it just feels weird for it to go over instead of under like dutch braid. Imo, I prefer the look of french braids, but its difficult for me to do than dutch braid.>.

[@stepsetgo9097]

Ohh god now i got why my french braid is dutch braid .....after 8 years i got the difference.

[@lindakim3051]

before i watched this video 10 minutes ago, my braids always turned out french on myself and dutch on other people; now i finally get it too :) my braids would always turn out really odd-looking too, still not sure why that is though

[@silviahannak3213]

Could you do a side dutch braid like Daenerys Targaryen Style .. some call it boxer braids. I want to do it.. but i just started .. i found ist sometimes to fast explained on other channels and it is absolutly a mess doing it with Long hair which is more dry and not so easy to braid.. specially if someone has not so straight Beautiful hair which is not thick and not easy to fix. (Even if you use lots of different oils and conditioner to make it more silky) Thank you for the Basics ! I love your way of showing Things... it makes it easy to follow... even if i have to press stop.. cause of Fixing this and that.. cause i am a snail in learing hairstyles.. .. it took me Hours to learn this and that… and i still have to learn a lot. your Videos are helpful!

[@jennifergrove2368]

Thank you SO much. I needed this video in my life lol :)

[@normagallegos7018]

Feel what you’re doing, namaste.

[@haniifa4018]

[@iris_todorovic]

I'm pretty good at braids but I'm still watching😂😊

[@CineNOV579]

[@balvyllaere]

Whenever I try to braid my own hair I can never get the french braid I just automatically do a dutch so seeing this was helpful.

[@batshelmeleh]

[@saarasaleh1709]

Hey loeps ur so amazing

[@ggilly5573]

[@kantnergirl08]

Do u ever add hair to middle piece then?

[@TheNinjaInConverse]

It's so funny reading these comments, because my default braid is a French. I have to think about Dutch braids, though I can do them pretty easily now.

[@dunya4435]

[@honnest4ever]

[@sofil5991]

I love how french braids look butI hate french braiding my own hair. Its quite long so it gets reaaaally tangled to a point I can't keep braiding and I always accidentally pull it out trying to detangle it :(

[@PRINCESS__SUHANA6]

Looking beautiful ❤😍

[@deannaleatherwood4177]

When my hair has long I’d walk around as I would braid my hair in the morning

[@bossicatbossicat1873]

وربنا انا مس فهما حاجه بس اتعلمت اعملها

[@PRINCESS__SUHANA6]

Hello loepsie 😀

[@pollysmith9298]

Can someone please help me on how to do a stray Dutch braid on my on hair because my always going to side of my hand

[@indiromijn]

Ben je nederlands

[@TA-ox6qg]

Early :D!! I love you😊💜

[@katiedunmore2184]

This dutch braid s also known as an inside our braid.

[@trampetherabbit1317]

When I was learning to french braid I accidentally made a Dutch braid and didn’t realize for a long time

[@kiriwi.]

this might sound kind of shallow but do you as a dutch person know why it's called french and dutch braid?

[@Loepsie]

No particular reason as far as I'm aware, we call them "inbraid" and "onbraid" in Dutch :P

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

Tldr: movies. Was wondering the same thing and it's not clear why those names stuck, might have to do with film for the French braid and as for the Dutch braid it seems linked to the novel Hedi, though I imagine it's more to do with the movie versions again.

[@tacireis]

My arms cant take it lol im 30s into it and my arms are tired 😂 i need to go to the gym wnd lift some weights first haha

[@Th1..]

[@kallypea]

[@amandablunier4186]
