💬 Sienna’s What-to-Ask-Your-Stylist Script: When asking your stylist to create an open-ended double Dutch braid, be sure to specify that you want the braid to start at the crown of your head and work its way down to the ends of your hair. This will give you a more relaxed, undone look.

1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works

In my salon chair, I love creating open-ended double Dutch braids for my clients during the holiday season.

There’s something so effortless and glamorous about this braiding technique that just screams ‘holiday party’ to me.

I always tell my clients that this style is a great way to add some extra glamour to their look without looking too ‘done-up.’

One of my clients, a busy working mom, came in for a quick holiday style refresh.

I worked with her to create an open-ended double Dutch braid that started at the crown of her head and worked its way down to the ends of her hair.

The result was a relaxed, undone look that she loved.
