17. Double French Braids
Double French braids are fantastic for keeping hair off your face and neck. They feel really secure. Begin braiding right at your hairline and follow the curve of your head.
16. Single French Braid
If you have medium-length hair, a single French braid down the back works well. It keeps your hair together. Braid it tightly all the way to the very end of your hair.
15. Dutch Braids
Dutch braids pop out more than French braids, which is a cool look. They’re also very secure. Try to keep your sections even as you braid for a clean finish.
14. Boxer Braids
Boxer braids are basically two Dutch braids. They’re super popular and stay put through almost anything. Finishing them off with a strong hold hairspray is a good idea.
13. French Braid Bun
Combine a French braid with a bun for extra security. Braid part of your hair and then twist it into a bun. Use plenty of bobby pins to anchor the bun firmly.
12. Dutch Braid Bun
Similar to the French braid bun, but with a Dutch braid. It offers excellent staying power. Sometimes I add a hair net over the bun for even more security.
11. Side Braid
A side braid can be good for keeping hair off one shoulder. It’s not as secure as having all your hair contained. Make sure you braid it as tightly as you can.
10. Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks intricate and stylish. If you braid it tightly, it can hold up pretty well. It takes a little practice to get the hang of a tight fishtail.
9. Crown Braid
The crown braid is awesome for keeping absolutely all your hair off your neck and face. It wraps around your head like a halo. Use bobby pins along the braid to keep it secure against your head.
