When you have extra time, a simple braid can elevate any look to new levels. From two-strand twists or crown braids – both styles add additional character and variety – they are great ways to promote any manner!
1. Boxer Braid Pigtails
Boxer braids have quickly become one of the hottest new trends, dominating Instagram feeds everywhere, from fashion blogs to news websites. A heat-free style makes an excellent everyday or gym ponytail alternative. Boxer braids suit all hair textures well and can even be customized into unique looks for unique looks.
To achieve classic boxer braids, begin with two symmetrical pigtails at the front of your head and braid as usual, but cross your right and left strands under rather than over the middle one when braiding them. Continue braiding until it reaches the base of your scalp before tying it off with an elastic. For added flair to your boxer braids, gently tug on either side – this will loosen them slightly and make them appear thicker!
2. Half Up Mini Dutch Fishtail Braid
This unique style offers a stylish yet effortless take on the fishtail braid. Easy and low maintenance are essential when creating this unique style; create a regular Dutch fishtail braid at the crown before adding face-framing strands around your ears to give an instantaneous cool and distinctive look ideal for everyday style.
Divide your hair into two equal sections to begin fishtail braiding. Separate a pencil-sized area from either of your half sections, crossing it over onto the opposite half and weaving it in. Continue this process on both sides until your braid reaches the base of your head before securing it with an elastic.
