What Is a Dutch Braid?
A Dutch braid, sometimes known as an inverted French braid or simply an inverted braid, is a popular braided hairstyle. Similar to a French braid, the Dutch braid consists of three groups of hair braided together to create a single intertwined piece. The basic technique can be used to create a number of different, often exotic looking, hairstyles that can fit any situation and occasion. A Dutch braid can be used on any hair that is strong enough, thick enough, and long enough to support a French braid, and can be done on its own or as part of a more complicated hairstyle. While in appearance the Dutch braid may seem similar to a French braid, the difference comes in how the left and right strands of hair are interwoven with the middle piece. A French braid weaves the three strands of hair together with the sides over the middle piece. The Dutch braid, however, brings the side pieces under the middle part.
