French Braid
No matter your desired hairstyle–whether classic and sweet or more unconventional–French braids can take your style to the next level. And while they might appear daunting at first, it’s actually not too hard to learn how to French braid your own locks! This style’s key is creating new strands each time you cross one of the side braids over to the center, adding new ones each time. Grab small sections from both sides before crossing over, and create intricate and detailed braids with added flowers or beads at the ends for an adorable finishing touch! Wear this French braid style on special occasions like formal evening gowns to show it off to its full potential!
Dutch Braid
Dutch braids are an elegant, fashionable hairstyle perfect for all occasions. They make an eye-catching decorative accent in high and low ponytails as well as loose wavy styles. To give this style even more drama, use root touch up powder or spray to cover any white spots on the scalp that might peek through under the braid. Start by parting your hair down the middle and weaving a Dutch braid on one side until it reaches your nape. From there, add thin strands of hair from each right and left section before crossing them under the middle one; continue this pattern until your braid reaches the end. Finally, tie a regular braid using elastic bands.
Fishtail Braid
The fishtail braid is an elegant way to achieve French braid style without all the effort: its elegant simplicity makes it accessible. Instead of three strands crossing over and tucking into one another, this style uses multiple smaller sections woven together creating a gorgeous flowing style. Start by sectioning your hair into two deep side parts on either side of your head. Next, start braiding a regular fishtail braid. When several inches have passed since starting this pattern, grab one half with pencil-sized sections from one half and incorporate that section by crossing over its neighbor so it becomes part of that half. Continue to alternate sides, pulling small sections from both and weaving them into each other to form a thick and long fishtail braid. When satisfied with your braid, secure it with a hair elastic. For an added smooth finish, lightly tug on it to loosen it and spray a bit of hairspray for extra shine!
Halo Braid
The Halo Braid is an elegant feminine hairstyle suitable for casual or formal events. Featuring pearls and flowers for added glitz, this braid offers plenty of opportunities to show off natural color variations within your locks. To create the halo braid, first begin by French or Dutch braiding your hair. When there are just a few strands remaining, begin crossing under instead of over outermost braids until a full circle has been created around your head – secure the ends with bobby pins to complete the design! Add some colorful strands of hair for a textured effect in your halo braid, for an ideal style at special events such as a wedding or formal ball. This will give your locks more of a natural and voluptuous appearance – ideal for creating more texture! This look could make a statement when worn at special events like weddings and balls.
