FAQ: How To Dutch Braid

Is Dutch braid easy?

The reverse French braid is one of the various names for the Dutch braid. In truth, the Dutch braid is similar to a French braid except that the Dutch braid strands are crossed under rather than over. It may seem difficult to a novice, but it is actually fairly simple.

Can I wash my hair with Dutch braids?

NY hair experts recommend to wash braids every two to three weeks to keep your hair healthy.
By not washing your scalp and hair, you allow the product buildup to stay on your scalp, which causes flakes and itching.

How do you sleep with Dutch braids at night?

Before going to bed, wrap your braids in a scarf. Cover them with a large, 40 by 40 in (100 by 100 cm) shawl or scarf to minimize unnecessary hair friction and frizziness at night. You can also put a sock-style scarf over your braids, which fits over them like a pillowcase or sock.
