Criss-cross braids create an intricate pattern by having braids cross over each other. This style also adds extra security, keeping everything locked down for active movement. Making sure the tension is even on each braid keeps the pattern looking neat.
7. Braids with a High Ponytail
Pulling your braids up into a high ponytail is super practical for sports. It keeps all your hair off your neck and face. It also looks really sleek. Secure the base of the ponytail well with a strong hair tie or even wrap some braiding hair around it.

Styling your braids into a bun is another neat and secure option. You can place the bun high, low, or to the side. A hairnet over the bun can give it extra hold, especially during intense activity.

A braided crown style wraps braids around your head. It’s elegant and keeps your hair completely contained. This is perfect if you need your hair completely out of the way. Use plenty of bobby pins to secure it firmly in place.

Adding colored braiding hair is a fantastic way to customize your look. You can express your personality or even match your team colors! It’s a fun way to make a statement. Choose colors that really pop against your natural hair.
3. Braids with Undercut
Combining braids with an undercut gives you an edgy and cool look. It also means less hair to manage! This style is great if you want something bold. Remember to keep the undercut area trimmed to maintain the look.
