Double Dutch Braids

About the Double Dutch Braids

Cut & Silhouette: Description: Two large, tight, three-strand braids (pigtails) originating from the nape, with multiple smaller flat braids (cornrows) on the top and sides feeding into them, creating a sleek, elongated silhouette. Key Details: Hair is fully braided into two main structures. Multiple smaller flat braids run parallel on the top and sides, blending into the larger braids. Baby hairs are meticulously styled at the hairline. Ear coverage: over-ear. Sideburns: pulled back and integrated into side braids, with some fine baby hairs styled. Nape/neckline: hair tightly braided and pulled from nape. No actual cut is visible, this is a style. Length: Overall: Braids extend approximately 20–22 in (51–56 cm) from the top of the scalp to the ends, reaching below the chest. Front: Baby hairs styled at the hairline, approximately 0.5–1 in (1–2.5 cm) long, reaching just above eyebrows. Sides: Hair is tightly braided against the scalp, with length incorporated into the main braids. Back/Nape: Hair tightly braided from the nape into the two main braids. Fringe: No traditional fringe; baby hairs styled at hairline. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: No fringe; a distinct pattern of "baby hairs" is meticulously styled in a wavy, adherent pattern along the forehead and temples. Parting: A clear center part extends from the forehead to the crown, separating the top section into two halves. Further diagonal partings define the smaller flat braids. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Appears naturally straight (Type 1A–1B) or slightly wavy, based on the smooth braiding. Styled Finish: Extremely sleek and controlled, with high gloss at the roots and along the scalp. The braids themselves are neat and uniform. Product used for slicking back and shaping baby hairs. Hold level 5/5 (strong gel or edge control). Volume & Density: Description: Very low volume at the scalp, crown, and sides due to tight braiding. High volume and density within the two main braids. Thickness: Appears thick and dense overall, capable of forming such substantial braids. Color: Base Color: Medium brown, neutral-warm tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Uniform color, no visible highlights or artificial color effects.
