After a break due to Covid, the Oktoberfest will soon take place again

Braided hairstyle for a dirndl
Twisted Dutch braids for medium length hair
You can create this hairstyle regardless of your hair length. When you braid a dutch braid, you usually cross sections of hair under each other. It is all about a three part braided section of hair that looks incredibly beautiful.
Big overlapping Dutch braids
In this hairstyle, you make delicate zigzag segmentation that only looks confusing at first glance. To complete this parting, don’t make a clean parting of the hair at the back of the head when dividing the hair into two sections.
Here’s how it works:
- Part the hair at the top of your head and divide it into two sections while leaving the bottom part of the hair loose.
- Take 3 strands of hair and start braiding by crossing the strands under each other.
- After each step, start adding new small strands of hair.
- Also add small segments from the other side of the parting for a textured zigzag and overlap effect.
- For a voluminous effect, loosen your braids a bit.
- Twist the two braids as they reach the nape of the neck.
- Secure with an invisible hair tie and add a pretty flower hair clip.
- Curl the loose hair with the wave iron or curling iron.
