Hairstyles with braids: 17 proposals that you will love

The best braids of

All these hairstyles have fascinated us because they are original, elegant and very sophisticated. And some are also done in a flash. This may require a bit of morning but as it is for a special occasion, it does not matter to invest some time. Start by twisting two thin strands from the sides and joining them at the nape. Then go braiding the hair in the shape of a fish tail (divide in two and bring thin strands to the other side crossing them through the center). Every little bit, put a black ribbon and braid again.

Side + pigtail

This hairstyle is ideal for medium length hair. You just have to make a root braid on one of the sides or if you prefer on both and end up collecting all your hair in a low ponytail.

Timini

This ethnic hairstyle has become very fashionable this year and it can be used to create hairstyles as original as this one. It consists of making root braids, but very fine and glued to the head, to leave one of the sides of the mane clear, as here.

Braids for short hair?

Do you have short hair and do not dare with a hairstyle with braids? Well, know that they are also for you! For a bob cut, the ideal is to collect only the bangs area. With a side parting, take the closest strands and start braiding at the roots, but introducing new strands only from the front. When you get to the ear area, put a rubber band and leave the rest loose. If you want more hairstyles with braids for short hair, click here.

Half up bun

Another of the fashionable hairstyles in recent seasons. If you have tired of its usual version, try this one. You will just have to make three root braids on the top of your head and then gather that same hair in a high bun.

The two braids of a lifetime

How long have you done two braids? Well, this hairstyle with braids is one of the 17 easy ideas that we give you for day to day.

Crest

We love how original this hairstyle is and it shows that braids can be as versatile as our imagination wants. Here a reverse root braid is made, that is, adding the new strands below to give it volume, and it ends at the nape with a ponytail. Afterwards, the ends are opened well to give it more volume.

Ideal for weddings

If you are getting married or have been invited to a wedding and are looking for a nice hairstyle that has braids (of course!), This high bun is a good option. If you want to be the most original, take a look at these wedding hairstyles with braids and look different!

Boxer braids

Boxer braids are still very trendy and are as easy as doing two inverted root braids on each side of your head.

High ponytail

Do you want to give your ponytail a twist? Root braid the hair from the top of the head. You will make a difference.

Low bun

You can also do something similar with a low bun. Start making two boxer braids and when you reach the nape of your neck, instead of continuing to braid, put them together, twist and form your bun.

Diadem

Here we also have a root braid, but this time only strands are added from one side, the one on the forehead. In this way, the other side is detached from the head and the braid is much more visible.

Siren

This braid is one of our favorites because it is able to make it look like we have much more hair. You have to start braiding the sides of the forehead in the shape of a fish tail. They are then crossed at the back of the head and the ends of one are hidden under the other. The rest of the hair is collected in fine tails and each one is divided in two and tied back under the next. Then the ends are well hollowed out so that it takes all that volume.

Semi-picked

This hairstyle is so pretty that it makes us want to grab the tweezers immediately. Start by separating the front strands and pinning them together. Then, take the next strands, already from the back of the head but without touching the center. Braid them normally halfway and join them in the center. Now take the front strands, bring them back and braid in the shape of a fish until almost the end and secure with a fine elastic band. Wave the rest of the hair with the tweezers and if you want, add some flowers. It is an ideal hairstyle for weddings.

Pick up the bangs

If you have your hair cut with a classic bob, this is your hairstyle. You only have to braid one of the sides, placing the strands a little back so that the braid takes the proper shape and secure it behind the head with hairpins.

Headband + pigtail

Another version of a ponytail with a side braid. We like this one because, as with the headband braid, only new strands are added from the front. Then all the hair is gathered in a low and smooth ponytail and some strands are thinned out to give it a more romantic touch. If you want to add volume to the crown, card the area before you start.

Half braids with bubble effect

Separate half of your hair as if you were going to do a semi updo. Hold the hair with a rubber band and make a braid with the entire tail. You can make it classic, four-stranded like here, or fishtail. Secure the end with another rubber band. Cover the first rubber band with a pink velvet ribbon. Collect the rest of the hair with the braid on top as many times as necessary to form the bubbles and then cover the gummies with the same tape.

Waterfall

It looks more difficult than it is but you just have to braid at the roots. The only difference is that after each turn you have to drop the top strands underneath to create that waterfall effect instead of keeping them inside the braid. Do it on each side and when you get to the center mix both braids and secure with a pair of hairpins making sure they are hidden.

Hairstyles with braids have been in fashion for years and it is impossible to get tired of them because they offer a thousand and one possibilities when it comes to collecting hair. However, trends can vary a bit and new ways of creating them have even been invented so we are going to give you several ideas that you can make yourself with a little bit of tomorrow.

Easy hairstyles ideas with braids

Headband . It is one of the simplest formulas since it is only about making a root braid from one side of the head to the other. Do you want a trick to make it look better? Add new strands only from the forehead in this way, the other side will be slightly higher and will be more evident.
Timini . African braids are still very topical and with them you can create a multitude of interesting hairstyles. For example, picking up one side by making two very fine braids and glued to the head and leaving the rest of the hair loose.
Bun . To give the classic bun a twist, start making two boxer braids and when you reach the nape area, join both and create a ballerina bun as you normally would.
Fish tail. We love how pretty these braids are. If you want to give your hairstyle an original touch, make a low updo with one of these braids and put a rubber band every several centimeters to start over.
Waterfall . The waterfall braids have a bohemian air that we love and making them is as easy as braiding from the roots but releasing the strand that you take from above just below once you have used it.
