Valentine’s Day Hairstyles | Dutch Heart 2-in-1 Braid

Side-by-side of the "Dutch Heart 2 in 1" hairstyle.

Valentines’s Day is right around the corner! My niece Kilee came to visit, and she let me borrow her golden hair. We were trying out some heart hairstyles and I couldn’t pick just one! The #CGHDutchHeart2in1 uses 2 dutch braids, with the only difference being 1 heart at the bottom of the braids, or 2!

Items Needed: Comb/brush. elastics

Time Requirement: 10-15 minutes

Skill Level: Medium


Hairstyle #1

  • Separate the hair into 2 even sections. Secure one section with an elastic.
  • Starting off on the section of hair that's loose, make a dutch braid.
  • When you reach the neck, fold up the remaining hair and secure it with an elastic, (Tip: Make sure the elastic is holding the hair upside down so you can create the heart shape.)
  • Divide the non-braided hair into 2 separate pieces.
  • Make a 3 strand braid on each side.
  • Secure the braid with an elastic.
  • Repeat steps 4-6 on the 2nd section of the hair you set aside at the beginning.
  • Pancake the braids to make the braids looks fluffier and fuller.

Hairstyle #2

  • Divide the hair into 2 even sections.
  • Make a dutch braid on each side.
  • Once you reach the neck, take both braids and make a ponytail. Secure with an elastic.
  • Make a hole between the braids within the elastic, and flip the ponytail up towards the ceiling. Pull through
  • Separate the ponytail into 2 pieces.
  • Make a 3 strand braid on each side. Secure both pieces together with an elastic.
  • Tug the braid to tighten the heart. (Tip: Use bobby pins to secure and the heart as necessary)
