"[In] a French braid you use hair strands over the middle section of the braid while Dutch braid uses hair strands under the middle section of the braid." In the States, depending on what part of the country you are from, French braids and Dutch braids are differentiated by "overhand" or "underhand" braids.(Google)

| Danica's Dutch Braid |
You wanted to know how the gals made out with the Dutch braid. It looks good to me although Sue struggled to complete it to her personal satisfaction. Let's face it, the lady has high standards and can be a bit of a perfectionist. After starting and stopping a few times, I'd say that success was achieved, despite the lack of perfection (according to Sue).
They begin.
There was some ravelling and unravelling as Sue struggled with this new procedure.
Danica checks out the finished product.
I think Sue did a marvellous to teach herself how to accomplish this. I wonder if they will try again.

I haven't combed my hair in nearly 40 years either due to length or quantity so I think my braiding days are over.
It's beautiful! Thanks for showing me the finished job.
Absolutely gorgeous! And so are the lovely ladies.
When my daughters were young with long hair I'd do that braid except we called them fishtail braids.
Your granddaughter has beautiful hair. Of course Sue has high standards, she married you!!
Wonderful job...getting both sides to have equal looks is pretty amazing to me. Sue, I take my hat off to you. It might have been easier to just do one single one, without the aspect of matching two braids...but you did it!
I'm impressed!
Beautiful braids and beautiful China cabinet!
It looks like a great job to this person who has never seen a Dutch braid…to her knowledge.
Beautiful! Great job by Sue and it looks wonderful on Danica.
I do like that type of braid. It looks sophisticated AND casual/carefree at the same time.

It is a lost art
A beautiful job.
Yes, they will try it again. Danica will do the braiding.
Beautiful in many ways. I’ll bet that Danica will remember her grandma braiding her hair, as she braids her own daughter’s hair someday. It will be a treasured memory.
Impressive and such a special bond.
Wow -- totally fantastic. Cheers to Sue!
That looks excellent to me! I can't braid although my older daughter can French braid her own hair. How, I have no clue!
Well done Sue. Dancia looks gorgeous.
