    I think what you're not liking is all the sections you can see? Probably the difference is to use Dutch braids rather than regular English braiding. The sections do not show up as much that way. Also, the balance of loose enough but not so loose it won't hold.

    I also comb my sections some as I go and then use a finetooth comb through the hair up to the braid after I am done to take out the sectioned look.

    Don't know if that helps any! It is great to see this look being worn by some of the stars. Good luck!

    I think your right! i just tried doing twin Dutch braids going into a bun and it looked so much better thank you i also loosened some off the sections after i was finished.

    I was after an every day look and as i love braids and buns this certainly fits the bill ...and my hair is off my face which i like

    a. You're braiding the hairs too far up. pull them down closer to your ears. You're also braiding looser than they are, you want to keep medium tension on the strands, and cross them over as far up the strand as possible for a tight, neat braid. it's all about keeping even tension.

    Anne's braids are also not french/dutch braids. That looks to me like a windowshade (lace) braid.
