9. The Fishtail Braid
Don’t let this one fool you; it looks complicated but uses only two strands! You take small pieces from the outside and cross them over. It creates a beautiful, intricate pattern. Pulling gently on the sides makes it look thicker and more romantic.
8. The Pigtail Braids
Bring on the nostalgia! Dividing your hair into two sections and braiding them is a playful look. It’s great for casual days or when you’re working out. You can do simple three-strand braids or even fishtails for a different feel.
7. The Crown Braid
Feel like royalty with a braid wrapped around your head. You can braid sections from the sides and pin them across the top. It’s elegant and keeps all your hair neatly away. Make sure to use bobby pins that match your hair color for a seamless look.
6. The French Braid
This braid starts at the top of your head and adds sections as you go. It creates a braid that’s integrated into your hair. It’s perfect for keeping hair neat and tidy. Keeping even tension as you braid is key for a smooth finish.
5. The Dutch Braid
Similar to a French braid, but you cross the sections under instead of over. This makes the braid pop out from your head. It adds great volume and texture. Try to make sure your sections are about the same size for a uniform braid.
4. The Braided Bun
Add a braid to your go-to bun! You can braid your ponytail before wrapping it into a bun or braid a section and wrap it around a regular bun. It adds a lovely detail. Using plenty of bobby pins helps keep everything secure.
3. The Waterfall Braid
This style is so romantic! You braid along your head, but you drop one strand and pick up a new one as you go. It creates a pretty cascading effect. Try to keep the dropped strands separate so they flow nicely.
