1. French Braid
The French braid is a timeless hairstyle that adds fullness and draws attention to your facial features. It is suitable for curly or wavy locks. Start with a side parting and divide your hair into three portions—French braid by adding coat from the front and alternating sides.
2. Dutch Braid
Dutch braids are simple to master and add body to your hair. Dutch braids cross sections underneath each strand, creating a 3-D effect, unlike French braids. Perfect for formal events and music festivals. Begin by selecting a side of your face, divide a section into three parts, and braid by crossing the right section under the middle and the left section over the bottom.
3. Fishtail Braid
Fishtail braids make an eye-catching statement and are created by dividing your hair into two sections. Cross small pencil-sized pieces from one side to the other as you braid. Use clear elastics for a sleeker appearance, or gently tug at your strands for a looser look.
4. Upside-Down Braid
An upside-down braid is a weightless charm that works well for prom or formal events. Start with a French braid from the nape of your neck, moving upward to your crown area. Secure with elastics and add embellished bobby pins or hair rings for extra flair.
5. Loose Braid
Loose braids are an excellent choice for maintaining healthy hair. Use a hair-safe elastic or scrunchie to prevent tangling and damage. You can also add colorful extensions for a fun twist. Braids can last up to 8 weeks with proper maintenance.
