Whether they're delicate or voluminous, braids are still having a moment. Here, four easy styles to test-drive this summer, with Garnier Fructis celebrity stylist Tommy Buckett.
Elizabeth Griffin The Technique: Woven Braid Crown 2 of 13
"Brush the hair back into a low ponytail, and separate it into two smaller ponytails," instructs Buckett. "Wrap ribbon around one small section of hair from each pony, and use it to create two basic three-strand braids. Crisscross each braid around your head, and pin them into place."
Elizabeth Griffin So elegant, plus, the pop of color in the crown brightens up any outfit.
Elizabeth Griffin The Technique: Criss-Cross Braids 5 of 13
"Create two braids at your temples and pull them straight back; just below the crown," Buckett says. Tie those braids together, and crisscross the remaining strands back toward the temples. Pin them in place, then create two more braids. "This time, pull the hair from a little further back." Repeat the crisscross-and-pin process, tucking the second set of braids underneath the first. Et voilà!
Elizabeth Griffin Curl chunky sections in the back for a wavy, boho effect.
Elizabeth Griffin The Technique: Textured Fishtail Braid 8 of 13
"Loosely pull your hair back, low, and off to one side before creating a classic four-strand fishtail braid," Buckett says. Pro tip: Don't plait your hair too tight; you want the braid to feel full and robust when you're done.
Elizabeth Griffin Soft, but structured. Also, this plus-size plait can look pretty for days, but when you're ready for a whole new look, simply take it down for a messy-on-purpose second-day-style that's loaded with texture.
Elizabeth Griffin The Technique: Slick Braided Bun 11 of 13
"Blow dry your hair straight, and double down with a few passes of the flat iron," Buckett says. "Brush it back into a low, tight ponytail, and braid it all the way down to the ends. Pull the braid up—directly up the center—and tack it down with a few pins."
Elizabeth Griffin A super sleek base with a simple pinned up braid is a fresh twist on the traditional braided chignon. "Tuck in the end of the braid to so it looks and feels polished," Buckett says.
