1. Mermaid Braid
Are you seeking an inspiring way to channel your inner mermaid? Look no further than this beautiful double plait hairstyle. While this exquisite design may appear difficult and intimidating, it’s actually quite straightforward – simply prep your mane with volumizing mousse before spraying volume-boosting hairspray over it all for optimal results!
Start by parting your crown hair into two sections, then create two French braids – one for each section – which meet in the back to create a mermaid braid. Feel free to add loose curls at the ends for an added romantic touch!
2. Four-Strand Braid
This four-strand braid adds an elegant flair to a full twisted ponytail or low bun, looking more intricate than the standard three-strand braid but actually being quite easy to create.
Beginning by sectioning off your hair into sections and labeling each as 1, 2, 3, 4. Then begin braiding by flipping Strand 1 over Strand 2 and under Strand 3, repeating this pattern until reaching the end of your hair.
Once you reach the middle, twist your wrists right and cross one strand in the center over the one on the left (in this demonstration blue goes over yellow and purple). Repeat this pattern until your braid is complete and tie it with a hair tie.
3. Twisted Ponytail
If you’re in a rush, try this quick twisted ponytail hairstyle to look both stylish and simple! Perfect for work environments, just use some hairspray to give extra hold if necessary!
Start with a low ponytail at the base of your neck, secured with a hair tie. Next, create an opening above it large enough for your ponytail to pass through, twisting and pulling tight until complete.
Tease the ends of your twisted ponytail for added volume for an elegant and special event look. This updo makes a wonderful statement.
