Question & Answer
Is a Dragon Braid and a Dutch Braid the same?
A Dragon Braid is a type of Dutch Braid. The Dutch braid is the technique (overhand plaiting so the braid sits on top). A "Dragon Braid" is the modern name for a Dutch braid that is made very large, long, and is "pancaked" (pulled apart) to look as dramatic and 3D as possible.
