5 strand split braid

The regular 3D split braid is a super easy variation on the 3 strand braid. The 5 strand version isn't that much more difficult, it's mostly a matter of knowing how to do the technique.
You start by dividing the hair into 5 strands, I'm calling them (from the left to the right) A, B, C, D, E. Split strand A (the far left strand) into two and cross one section over strand B and one section under strand B. Then add your two sections together and cross them together over strand C. Then split strand E into two and cross one section over strand D and one section under strand D. Then add your two sections together and cross them over the middle strand. Keep repeating this.
In short: the outer strand always goes over and under and then over.
You can also add in hair, so you get a Dutch braided version of the braid. Pay attention, though: always split the outer strand first and cross it over and under. Then add hair to the strand you've just split and now brought together again. Using the letters from before: split strand A, cross the sections over and under strand B, grab new hair, cross it under strand B and add it to strand A. Then cross strand A, with the new hair, over strand C.
