Fabulous Five: Five Easy Ways to Become a Braided Beauty

Braids have been all over the runways the past few seasons and are perfect for all hair types and texture. Here's 5 fun and easy ways to take your hairstyle up a notch!

 

THE SIDE BRAID
A french braid along the side of your hair is so easy and can do so much for your hairstyle. Wear it with natural waves or twisted up into a messy bun. You can't go wrong .

 THE WATERFALL BRAID
This one is my favorite and I can't wait to try it! If you know how to french braid you can easily incorporate this into your next style.

• First take a classic french braid from vertical to horizontal.
• When you have the hair sectioned into three instead of adding hair from the bottom section you split it in half only bringing half of the section into the braid. Let the rest fall giving a "waterfall" effect. It sounds more complicated than it is! 

BOHO BRAID
One simple braid can make such a statement. This is truly bohemian chic!

 THE KNOT SO BRAIDED BRAID
 A new take on the classic pigtail. This is so easy anyone can do it.

• Tease the hair to create lots of volume.  
• Section the hair and instead of braiding literally tie your hair in knots as if you are tying your shoes! 

THE INSIDE OUT BRAID
This one is a little more advanced and may take some practice. But definitely worth it! As you can see how fabulous it is. 

• Start with teasing the hair if you don't have natural texture.
• Start forming an inside out french braid (it's exactly the same as a french braid but instead of braiding over you braid under).
• When you get towards the end of the braid start pulling some of the hair out. Similar to the waterfall braid.

With these five new styles you'll be on your way to braided bliss in no time!
