Braiding- Back to back basics

Hello Everybody!
Today we are going to be learning how to do a regular braid, and a dutch braid.  They are pretty much the same, you just do them different.  Sometimes, I might call a dutch braid a inside-out braid, a flip braid, or other stuff.
I will show you how to do them both.

Here is how you do the regular braid-

Items needed-
A comb, two elastics, spray bottle, hairspray (optional),  other accessories (optional).

Start out by sectioning out a piece of hair and tie it off with an elastic.


Next, split the section into three pieces.


After that, take one of the sections on the side (It doesn't matter which side you grab from) , and pull it over the middle strand so the one you pull over is than in the middle.





Repeat step 3 over on the other strand on the other side until you get to the bottom of the strands.  When you do, tie it off with an elastic.


On a  dutch braid, you take the strand and bring it UNDER the middle strand.

Good Luck!!
