Much like everyone else, the ELE team are going a bit stir crazy in isolation. I, personally, have been spending a lot of my time on TikTok pretending to be young. My favourite thing on there is @bradmondo reviewing at-home dye jobs. But for those of us less open to dramatic hair changes during isolation, these are some fun beauty experiments you can do at home that won’t have a lasting effect.
Learn to Dutch Braid
Dutch Braids (akin to Cornrows) are an inverse version of a french braid. Where a French Braid sits flat, Dutch Braids sit atop the hair. The difference between Cornrows and Dutch Braids appears to be in the weaving technique. Where Cornrows sit tight to the head, Dutch Braids are typically braided at an angle to increase volume, and so they sit off the head more.
