DNA braids might sound a bit freaky, but there are no out-of-the-ordinary hair accessories involved. In fact, there aren’t any hair accessories involved save for your standard hair elastic to fashion the braid. DNA braids get their name because they create a three-dimensional curved finish, like a strand of DNA.

Those who aren’t confident with their braiding skills can start off by twisting different sections of hair then coiling them together to form a DNA braid. Alternatively, you could braid different sections then twist them around each other to create the signature 3D effect of a DNA braid.
