Side Dutch Braid Tutorial
To achieve this gorgeous hairstyle wash and condition your hair. Let it air dry or blow dry with a drier. Now that the hair is clean and dry, comb the latter creating a smooth surface. Start braiding.
You have to bring all your hair to the front. It will make easier to braid. Take a section of hair right from the center or if you have a side part then start from there. Work clockwise. Split the hair into three sections and start Dutch braiding. Since the Dutch braiding is not similar to a French one, keep in mind that you are going to bring the outer sections of hair, be it right or left one not on top the middle one, but rather putting it under the middle section. You have to add hair to the middle section. So every time the right section of hair comes to the middle, add hair from the right side to it. Once you do so, for keeping symmetry next add hair from the left side to the middle section.
Now take the left strand of hair, bring it under the middle section and add hair. Keep these techniques of braiding till you reach the neck. Remember though, in order to have smooth hair, make sure to smooth the hair with your fingers, before adding the latter to the braided hair.
Since you had initially brought all your hair to the front, it is easy to add hair this way rather than starting to get sections of hair from the back. Once you get beneath your ear, right on your neck, stop braiding and fasten the hair with a tie. Now you have a side ponytail. To make sure that the hair looks proper from the back, take a mirror, better a two–way one and have a look from the back. If there is any hair that does not sit well, adjust it with your fingers gently.

To add more volume to the braid you can easily pull some hair from each side and make it look looser and with more volume. This hairstyle can be an everyday one. Yet with a small addition, you can transfer it to an evening one. Once the look seems to be incomplete, go ahead to accessorize your braid, take a nice flower or any other head garment that you usually like to wear and fasten it on the ponytail base. Your look is now complete and you really look chic.
