The best hairstyles with braids for short hair fall / winter 2018

Braids are also for short hair

Who said you can't wear braids with short hair? We show you that it can be done. From the medium hair to the pixie, we can all wear braids.

In ponytail

It is simpler than it seems because they are nothing more than two side root braids that are joined in a low mini ponytail. The key is to leave a strand aside to turn it into a kind of natural "hair tie."

African

Short hair supports many different types of braids, but one of the best ones is the African type. You can do them on the side of the head, like here, leaving the rest of the hair loose.

Side

If you have a structured bob cut, like this one, you can make a braid that starts at the root on one side and then goes loose.

Waterfall

This type of braid can be done with any length of hair, although it looks especially good in medium hair, because strands are added (as if it were a root braid), but releasing them at each turn. Do it on both sides and join the two braids in the middle, trying not to show them.

Waterfall + mini braid

We have fallen in love with this way of giving a waterfall braid a twist. It is done the same as the previous one, but adding a mini braid to the equation.

Side

For days when you don't have 5 minutes to style your hair, make a regular braid on one side and secure it behind your ear with a bobby pin.

Half crown

Do you like crown braids, but your hair is not long enough? You can try with this half crown. You just have to make two braids and join them in the center combining the ends of both.

Braids in a bob

Do you think that in bob cuts you can't wear braids? Look how good the root ones are on one of the sides. Two is more than enough.

With bangs

Another option for bob cuts, collecting only the bangs area is also very easy to do. 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.

Herringbone semi-gathered

Semi-gathered herringbone

Can you do a herringbone braid? Well then you can make two and join them in the center of the head with a well hidden hairpin.

Boxer braids

Who said boxer braids are only for long hair? We love how they look on short manes like this one.

Pixie with braids

Braids can be the best friend to your pixie cut if you have chosen to wear long bangs. You can combine twisted strands with braids, like here, to give a different touch to your usual look.

A little extra

Surely from time to time you do semi-updos and hold your hair with a simple clip, a pretty barrette or hairpins. Add a pair of braids on each side and you will get a renewed look that is most flattering. It is an ideal hairstyle to go as a guest to a wedding or even for the bride!

Retro headband

Is the style of the 50s and 60s going for you? Then you have to try this hairstyle with a braid as a headband. You just have to throw back the central strands of your hair and hold them with a fine braid that comes from one of the sides that have been loose. As an extra, you can curl the ends or give volume to the bangs area.

Semi-picked with loops

Take two thin strands from the sides and braid them. Now, take a wider section of hair, but from the same area and on each side, and join them halfway up behind the head. Turn them once through the gap left. Take another section from each side again and do the same. Repeat one more time.

Partying

Doing a party updo when you have short hair is easier than you think. Take a strip of "festive" fabric, like the one in the picture, and tuck it into a French root braid. You will succeed for sure.

Frontal

On one of the sides (or both if you have the part in the middle) make a German braid and leave the hair loose. If you want, you can give your hair a little more movement with undone waves. You will take a few years off at once!

Wearing braids when you have short hair is possible if you know how. We have endeavored to find the best updos with braids for the shortest hair of the season and it is that going to the pixie or the bob does not have to imply that we wear the same look every day. We show you how versatile short hair can be if we decorate it with braids. Do not miss the best hairstyles with braids and short hair for this Fall / Winter 2018-2019 !

Hairstyles with braids on short hair? Of course yes!

Pixie cut. If you have cut your hair in the pixie style, you can decorate it with braids in case you have left a versatile bangs or you have not cut too much. We love the option of wearing African-style braids on one side. In the case that you have bangs you can play to intersperse twists and braids.
Bob. Bob cuts at the jawline allow you to play with braids much more than you think, especially with semi-updos. We have won the idea of wearing half crown braids that allow half the hair to be left loose. Also those that are simply added to other more traditional semi-updos or focus on leaving only one side collected, the one with the bangs. This can be done with normal, French or German type root braids , thick in the middle of the head or finer and glued to the hairline. The possibilities are endless.
Melenita. Those with almost shoulder length hair can wear all of the above hairstyles without any problem and also up the ante with full updos like boxer braids or an ornate French braid . They can also show off their hair by wearing a braid as a headband or with a waterfall braid. All of them are ideal hairstyles that will instantly rejuvenate you.
