Sick of throwing your hair up in the same old topknot on not-so-nice hair days? We tapped Violeta Mrizaj, owner of the Mode de Vie hair studio in Eastchester, for advice on this season’s coolest braid trend, the Dutch braid, for a more polished look.
1. Start by bringing your hair to one side and dividing the hair at the top of your head into three sections.
