Side Dutch Braid: The side dutch braid works really well in medium to long hair. Part your hair on the side (your preference of sides). Take a small section of hair starting from the area of the parting and divide it into three. Start braiding it sideways and then keep adding small strands of hair to the braid as you make your way downwards. Once you've added all your hair to the braid, finish off with a regular three-strand plait. Secure at the end with a small elastic band.
