Ideal for beginners and those short on time, the Waterfall Braid offers a quick yet stylish solution. Start with a basic French braid along the hairline, allowing loose strands to drop down like a soft waterfall instead of incorporating them into the braid. For an extra touch of whimsy, add flowers or feathers.

The Half-Up, Half-Down Dutch Braid

Dutch braids are basically French braids flipped inside out, adding a bit more volume and texture. Dutch braid one section on either side of your head, then tie them together with an elastic or hair clip at the back. Leave the rest of your hair loose and wavy for a relaxed, romantic vibe.

This braid looks more intricate than it is! Separate your hair into two sections, then pick a small piece from the outer edge of one section and incorporate it into the other section. Repeat on the other side, creating a weaving effect. The result? A stunning, slightly asymmetrical braid that’s perfect for a day at the beach or a night out.

To achieve this look, French braid a section of hair starting near your temple, then bring it around the back of your head, incorporating hair as you go. Continue braiding until you reach the other temple, then fasten it with bobby pins. Repeat on the other side, meeting in the middle and tucking the ends under for a seamless crown effect.
