#24: Double Dutch

If you are wondering what makes each style of braid different, it’s all about the turn of the hand. Typical French braids are done by weaving three pieces of hair on top of each other, while a Dutch-style is braided with an underhanded technique that looks like two pieces of hair fused together.

#25: Highlighted Crown

Just because you have thin hair doesn’t mean that you can’t wear a Dutch braid. Weaving one into a loose style allows you to get texture in your hairdo without taking away from the little bit of volume that you have.
