#14: The French Braid Twist Hairstyle

This fancy braiding hairstyle is actually not twisted at all while it’s braided – the effect is achieved at the end, when you use some bobby pins. A couple of tips: it’s perfect for curly hair, and it can be successfully used as a wedding style. This free-form hairstyle doesn’t come with many strict instructions to it. Simply start by pinning the hair at your crown with some pins. This is the central point of the hairstyle, to which you will be alternatively adding twisted sections from the sides. At the nape of the neck, simply twist two sections of the remaining hair around each other and secure everything with a band. The style will look relatively loose, so make sure to add some cleverly placed bobby pins at the end, to secure its most sensitive points.

#15: Laid-back Braid Hairstyle

This style works so well for medium-length slightly wavy strands, and you can always add extensions, for that super impressive touch. If you’re still struggling to learn how to do a French braid, you will find that this style isn’t complicated. However, it requires a spritz of serum before you begin, to hold everything into place. Begin at the top, with your fringe pinned back. Create a normal braid, by crossing the three sections over four times. At this point, begin to add more hair from the sides. Repeat to the end, braiding rather loosely to make this hairstyle look effortless and carefree. Secure everything with a couple of clear bands. You’ve got both relaxed and elegant look!

#16: Side French Braid to Four Strand Braid

Your first step will be to sweep all your hair over one shoulder and start braiding right from the top. Continue in a parallel line with the contour of your face, past and behind the ear, to the nape of your neck. At this point, remember to leave one strand out of the braid. Keep braiding a little further down, then secure the tail with an elastic. Make a thin braid out of the strand you left out. Remove the elastic and make a four-way braid. At the very end, secure with an elastic and loosen the four-section braid with your fingers. Voila! You have achieved a sophisticated variation of the French braid hairstyle.
