This hairstyle is as easy or difficult as the previous one depending on your braiding skills; it is just more time-consuming. You can read first about the 5-strands dutch braid, because there are few suggestions there that you might find helpful. Then you can part your untangled hair down the middle and make 2 dutch braids with 5 strands – one on each side.
Then you can make an intricate looking hairdo… really intricate looking. My purpose was to make a heart-shape braided bun and it is not exactly heart-shape, but I still love it!
This hairstyle looks like a dutch braid. It is not a dutch braid; it is simpler. So, if you can not make a dutch braid, then you will probably love this little trick. First part the upper section of your hair from the bottom section and start to braid the upper section. 
I made the braid using 5 strands because I love the way braid looks, but you can make a regular braid with 3 strands; it will look very much the same. Braid the upper section only until you reach the nape of the neck. Hold the strands separated and divide the bottom section into 5 equal strands (or 3 strands if you make a normal braid), then join the two sections by putting together one by one the strands from the upper section with the ones from the bottom section. Continue to braid and fasten the ends. As you can see in the pictures you will have a space behind the upper braid, but this is not going to be visible. The benefit of this braid is that you can make an interesting hairstyle by pulling the bottom braid through that space that’s behind the upper braid and make a bun. The bun will look very much like the on/off button of the computer or other electrical devices. So, I guess this is the power bun!
You might wonder who would bother to make a braid with 5 strands that looks like a braid with 3 strands?… That would be me! You might also wonder why would I do such thing?.. Because the braid looks neat and tight and another thing I noticed is that the braid seems longer than a normal braid with 3 strands. As usual there are two ways to make the braid.
This is the french way. You can see how it looks on the left braid from the picture. Basically you take one outer strand and move it over the next two strands, then you take the other outer strand and move it over the previous two strands… and repeat from the start.
And this is the dutch way. You can see how it looks on the right braid from the picture. This time you take the outer strand and move it under the next two strands, then take the other outer strand and move it under the previous two strands… and repeat.
This is how I hold the strands: I grab the fist strand with the pinky finger, the second strand with the ring finger, the third strand with the index finger, then I hold the fourth strand between the thumb and the index finger (you can also ignore this strand for now), then I grab the last strand with the middle finger. At this point you have to switch hands: so take the strand held between the thumb and index finger (or the ignored strand) with the pinky finger, the strand held by the index finger with the ring finger, the strand held by the middle finger with the index finger, the strand held by the ring finger hold it between the thumb and the index finger and grab the last strand with the middle finger. And repeat!… Maybe it is not the easiest way to make this braid, but it works. You have to hold the strands with the fingers towards you if you want a dutch looking braid, or with the finger away from you if you want a french looking braid.
In these pictures you can see what you can do with the braids:
There is a similar hairstyle here. Those are regular braids with 4 strands and the little buns were made from the root part of the braid. These are regular braids with 5 strands and the very little buns were made from the end part of the braid. Anyway, I like both hairstyles very much.
