Best Braided Updos for Women

15. Chunky and Textured Wrap Braid

If you have very long hair, you can create a chunky and textured braided halo hairstyle by starting your plaiting process behind your ear and using loose strokes to create your braid. This will ensure the fullness of your hair is at the front of your head and enable you to work with its natural texture.

16. Milkmaid Braid

Pulling curls out of your braid is a great way to soften your style and inject it with extra femininity. Having curls around your face will create a natural frame and lend softness if you have a square or oval face shape.

17. Braid With Flower Embellishment

The halo braid is the perfect style for evening events and formal occasions. To inject a little glamour into your look for after dark, add flowers, gem barretts, and other feminine accessories to ensure your style really stands out from the crowd.

18. Braid with Side Swept Bangs

If you have a long face shape and rely on bangs to create softness and shorten your forehead, then don’t worry: you can work these bangs into your style and still wear a beautiful halo braid on natural hair.

To create this side bangs, separate out any hair you don’t want to include in the braid and hold it in place with a hair clip before you begin working on your style.

19. Double Dutch Braid

If you are blessed with ultra-long hair, you can amp up your style by creating a double Dutch crown braid! Simply continue wrapping your hair around your head until all of the lengths has been distributed: this will make your halo hair look much fuller and more impactful.

20. Half-up Hair

Love the look of a halo braided hairstyle but still want to show off the length of your hair? It is possible to have the best of both worlds! Use the length of your hair to create a braid without working to your nape, then wrap this around your head to create a demi-halo effect.
