hi today I'm going to show you how to do what's sometimes called a Dutch braid but we just refer to it as a reverse French braid this normally was a French braid you're going over the top this one I'm going to show you how to go underneath and it makes the top stand out more I really like the way it looks begin with having your hair combed out so there's no tangles it can be wet or dry if it's what you want it to spray it down a little bit so original flyaways and comb that in start at the top take apart on the left side and apart on the right side and section off your starting piece and go ahead and call them that smooth okay and then divide this into three equal sections and with a normal French braid you would start by going over the top on either side with this though you're going to start by bringing your left side under then the right side under in between those two and the next time you bring the left side under we're going to section off a section of hair over on the left hand side sit down and bring it underneath and hold it with that first piece I have you brought under then go to the right side bring that hair under we're going to section off on the right side move it down bring that under and add that to the other piece we just put under there once again left side section of a piece smooth it down and add it underneath to the party already put er there then go to the right side section off smooth it down and bring it under also you doing this all the way down going to opposite sides but and then from the right every time how you bring under you're going to want to hold it separate in the middle until you add the hair from the side to it and the hair to it and I bring your next side over keep it separate in the middle last section of hair make sure you're getting all the ends that are underneath there continue your braid going underneath on each side just not adding hair to it any longer so you can see on the top how much it stands out more by doing this the other way it would be the opposite and this would be underneath r you can't see it but I really like to look at this because it makes your bread stand out more and I honestly think it's easier to do a reverse braid than on the french braid when you get to the end use an elastic or a hair tie to secure it your ends you have reversed French braid
