One of my favorite ways to style an open-ended double Dutch braid is with a 10-minute round-brush blowout.
I start by applying a heat-activated styling cream to the ends of my client’s hair, followed by a round brush and a blow dryer.
I then use a texturizing spray to add some volume and texture to the braid.
Another great way to style an open-ended double Dutch braid is with a curling iron.
I start by curling the braid with a 1-inch curling iron, followed by a light-hold hairspray to set the curls in place.
The result is a beautiful, effortless-looking curl that adds some extra glamour to the braid.
