Braids for the Holidays

This Holiday season I am loving everything with braids, pleats or plaits in them especially when it comes to hairdos! Below are some of the hottest braid trends to pair with your sparkly holiday outfits!

:: Ombre side-swept braids ::

I love the ombre tone in this braided style, it gives off such an easy and chic look and would be perfect for an office holiday party!   

:: Crowned braids ::

This crowned braid style recently exploded as the new "trend braid" of the season with or without the bangs. It gives off a princess-y almost romantic feel to it and can be worn outside on the ice skating rink or indoors at an elegant Christmas party!   

 

:: Structured swept-up braids::

Another ombre look but with a more structured up-do. I love this European Heidi-inspired braid that you can style into an updo or wear with your hair down, the possibilities are just endless.

:: Variation of a mussed-up fishtail ::

The fishtail braid continues to be a popular trend this year. I absolutely adore this sea-inspired style especially with these multiple braids variation.

Which one is your favorite?

Beautiful Braids

This Spring I am loving everything with braids, pleats or plaits in them especially when it comes to hairdos! Below are some of the hottest braid trends this season.

:: Adorn with accessories ::

It's easy to give your braids a little extra something with ribbons, flowers, bows, and any other accessories you can think of. This creation is perfect for weddings or tea parties.

:: Romantic waterfall ::
This cascade braid style recently exploded as the new "trend braid" of the season. The waterfall effect looks cool and complex, and always remind me of Rapunzel. It's a soft, detailed and romantic look that can be worn on a casual date or to a more elegant dinner party.

:: Mussed-up fishtail ::

The fishtail braid is such a popular trend this year. I absolutely adore this sea-inspired style. To give your otherwise intricate braid a beachy-chic edge, loosen the braid and take out some strands after you finish.
 

:: Hair as headband ::

Who needs a headband when you can make one from your hair! I love this European Heidi-inspired front braid that you can style into an updo or wear with your hair down, the possibilities are just endless.

Which one is your favorite?
