#5: Summer Camp Braids

These accent braids remind me of braiding bracelets at summer camp, and I’m here for it. Such a detailed braid, this hairstyle is created for special occasions. Make sure to spray it with a strong hold hairspray so that your hair remains irresistible throughout the event till late at night.

#6: Braided Updo

This is all one big, Dutch braid, starting from the left side of the head and turning into a low, centered bun. Leave a few strands out along the hairline when weaving the braid diagonally downwards to create the effect of slight negligence. If you’re looking for a flawless elegant updo for a wedding, photoshoot, birthday or corporate party or any other event at all, this is it!

#7: French Braided Updo

We have another braided updo, but this time it’s for shoulder-length hair and is a French braid. Lightness, carelessness and romantic Provence fleur, wear it anytime you want to feel special and feminine. The beauty is you can combine it with any clothing, from jeans and a blouse, to a dress and heels.

#8: Large Dutch Side Braid

To achieve this style, you need to first do a Dutch braid and then add a texturizing powder to help pull out and fluff the braid. Spice it up with cute hair accessories — rings, ribbons, baby’s breath, pins, etc. This hairdo is as simple as it can be, and I guess, that is the secret to its boho magnificence and charm.

#9: Deconstructed Down Braid

This style has a large side braid, but it has curls falling out of the braid to make it look deconstructed. The down braid looks especially exquisite in long and thick hair, as there is the voluminous many-level effect created. Just imagine this gorgeous elegant braid falling down the shoulders covered with the gentle fabrics of a wedding dress. All grace and femininity!
