HOW TO: DOUBLE DUTCH BRAIDS WITH HAIR EXTENSIONS

Double dutch braids are a serious fave at ZALA. One of the coolest styles in town. And yep, you heard right, you CAN wear ZALA hair extensions in double dutch braids! The key to wearing your ZALA's with this look is all down to placement.

1. Start by creating a clean middle part all the way to the nape of the neck. Section off one side to prepare for your hair extensions.
2. The most important step when using hair extensions for double dutch braids is where you clip them in! And it's super simple! Just turn them around and clip them in vertically ;) This works best with using your 2 & 3 clip pieces. To ensure the pieces are undetectable once applied, section off the hair diagonally in line with where your braid will be and repeat on the other side. We recommend using at least 2 pieces per side for the best results!
3. Once your extensions are applied, carefully brush through to ensure everything is smooth. Then section off one side of your hair to prepare for braiding.
4. To create your dutch braid, take a small piece of hair from the front and split into three. Fold the outside section over into the middle at a time, taking more hair from underneath as you go.
5. Repeat these steps until you reach the nape area, then continue with a regular braid all the way down. Secure with a hair elastic and repeat on the other side.
6. To finish, use your fingers to loosen and pull apart the braid for added volume. And you're done!

Yes, you CAN do double dutch braids wearing your clips in :) And how AMAZING is the result! We love to see how you braid your ZALA's so don't forget to use #zalahairextensions when sharing your snaps!
