2. Dutch Braid
The Dutch braid is similar to a French braid, but it has a raised, 3D effect. Instead of crossing sections over the middle, you cross them underneath. This makes the braid stand out more clearly on top of the hair.
A Dutch braid is perfect for summer because it feels sporty, trendy, and secure. It is a great choice for outdoor events, hiking, workouts, beach days, and casual street-style looks.
Description
The Dutch braid begins at the top of the head and continues down the length of the hair. Because the braid sits on top rather than blending into the hair, it looks bold and defined.
You can wear one central Dutch braid or create two Dutch braids for a more youthful and athletic style. Both versions work well for long hair.
Who It Suits Best
This hairstyle suits women who want a secure summer braid that stays in place for hours. It is especially useful for active days.
It is ideal for:
- Sports and workouts
- Beach trips
- Long summer travel
- Thick hair
- Trendy casual outfits
Styling Tips
Use a smoothing cream before braiding if your hair gets frizzy in humidity. Keep the sections even for a polished finish.
For a more fashionable look, loosen the braid slightly and pull a few face-framing strands around the front. Add small gold clips or pearl pins for a dressier summer style.
