4 strand Dutch braid

A 'normal' 4 strand braid with hair added in is a French / Dutch braid. But there's also a technique to do a completely Dutch version of this braid. To do so, you have to add in the hair to the strand you cross over when it crosses under. This means it's important to master the regular 4 strand braid first and I would also advise to practice the French/Dutch version before trying this braid.

A simple variation: a diagonal 4 strand Dutch braid.

The same diagonal 4 strand Dutch as the photo above, only now a looser version for a more relaxed look

Instead of braiding until the end of the hair you can also finish off the style with a messy bun.

Also a fun variation: the 4 strand Dutch braid as headband braid.
