This braid is a braid you need to know! It´s so easy to do once you have the hand placement down and its such a great hairstyle to quickly braid your hair into if you need your hair out of your face!

If you can not braid for your life, then this is the braid for you!! All you need is to create small ponytails and pull through each other just as the name suggests.
How To Dutch Ribbon Braid
This is a difficult braid to do, I’m not going to lie! But it looks beautiful in the hair and you can do whatever color of ribbon or even switch out the ribbon for pearls or whatever you can find.
How To Single French Braid Step by Step
If you know how to 3 strand braid, then a french braid is the next step on your braiding journey! It’s really simple as it follows the pattern of the basic braid, but you just add some hair on each side before crossing the hair over and into the middle.

There are multiple ways you can braid with 4 strands. In the video below you will learn how to do a flat 4 strand braid, which I feel might be the easiest way for a beginner to tackle 4 strands at once!

This braid is such a great alternative to a basic 3 strand braid. It’s perfect to do in a low ponytail down the back as well as a high ponytail, it that more your style. It only has 2 strands and is a great braid for beginners!
How To do a Four Strand Braid
If you have mastered the basic 3 strand braid and you want to level up your braiding game, then you can do that by adding one more strand. This is my favorite kind of 4 strand braid and I’m sure you will love it too!
How To do a Double Rope Braid
If you are getting tired of dutch and french braids, but still want a double braid, then you might want to give a french rope braid a try. It will give you a similar look, but there are only 2 strands to braid with instead of 3.
How To Infinity Braid For Beginners
An infinity braid looks a lot harder than it is. It’s so easy to do, but it does take quite some time to do because you are working with such small sections. You can take much bigger sections and save time, but you will lose some of the delicate detail.
How To French Fishtail Braid Step by Step
This braid looks so beautiful when it’s done because it has so much detail! If you want to take your basic fishtail braid to the next level, then this is the braid for you. You can also do a dutch fishtail braid, which will be linked further down the page.
How To Double Dutch Braid
This is probably the most popular braid ever and I get why! Because it looks amazing as a double braid and it´s such a practical hairstyle! You can wear it really tight and sleek or messy, by pulling in the sides of the braid to give it volume and fluff it up.
How To 5 Strand Dutch Braid
This looks difficult and I must admit, it’s not the easiest braid to do. You have to maneuver 5 strands at once and add hair to the braid on both sides, but when it’s done, it looks so beautiful and is so unique, so you have to give it a try!
How To Double Dutch Infinity Braid
I love the look of this braid and if you are going for the “chunky braid” style, then this is the braid for you! It does take quite some time to do, but you can save some time by taking bigger sections or ditching the 2 braids and only going for one. The single braid will be linked further down the blog post.
How To Ribbon Braid Step By Step
A ribbon braid is perfect for a high pony and can be the cherry on top for a well-thought-out outfit. You can add whatever color ribbon you want and if you don’t have any ribbon, then you can replace it will 2 small sections of hair.
How To Dutch Fishtail Braid
A dutch fishtail braid is one of my favorite braids because there is so much detail in the braid and it looks beautiful in the hair. If you want to upgrade your basic fishtail braid, then I would recommend trying the dutch version out!

If you can not braid for your life, then this braid is where you have to begin. This is the base pattern of the most popular braids and when you understand the technique behind this 3 strand braid, then you can easily learn more braids!
How To Double French Fishtail Braid
The last time I did double french fishtail braids on myself, it took about 35-40 minutes… But I can tell you it was worth it! I loved the hairstyle and the compliments were flying in! My arms did hurt a lot and I did have to take a few breaks, but I would do it again!
How To Single Dutch Infinity Braid
A dutch infinity braid is a perfect braid for an updo! When done braiding, tuck the ends of the hair up under the braid and secure the hair with some hairpins, and voila! 1 unique updo for any occasion!

A french rope braid is such a beautiful braid and is a great alternative to a dutch braid or a french braid. It takes less then 5 minutes to do and is perfect for working out!

A five-strand braid is probably not the go-to braid that you will do every morning, but it looks really cool! It is a lot easier to do than what it looks like, the hardest part is to hold 5 strands at once, but definitely a must-try braid!
How To Double Dutch Fishtail Braid
A double dutch fishtail braid will take a while to do, but it looks amazing! I wouldn´t say this is an alternative to the double french braid or the double dutch braid because of how long it takes. Look wise they are very similar, but this braid takes about 30 minutes longer to do!
