Fat Dutch Braid

I've been on a hair kick lately with my girls. I happened to come across a really cool website (www.princesshairstyles.com)that has completely inspired me to do something cute with their hair every day, even if I only have a few minutes.

This Fat Dutch braid only took me a few minutes to do. I am always able to do Dutch Braids (upside-down French Braids) in my own hair but I've never been able to do them in anybody else's. Finally I used my brain and stood in front of N and braided it from that angle. It worked! For those of you who don't know how to Dutch Braid, it's essentially the same as French Braiding only you pull the strands under instead of over. If that didn't make sense I suggest you head over here because she explains it way better than I ever could.

Once you have finished the braid, gently pull the edges of each of the sections of the braid, starting near the elastic. This gives it the 'fat' appearance and makes the hair look thicker than it really is.

This hairstyle took me about two minutes to do!
