Many of us girls are obsessed with taking care of our hair. We want it to look straight, curled, or in trendy and super cool hair braids. Braiding involves taking three sections of your hair and simply weaving the strands together (the simplest kind I know). But for more complicated braids, it would take time and patience for you to achieve them.

Here are the Common Types of Hair Braids:

There are many ways to style your hair. Braid styles have become increasingly popular in recent years. Braided hairstyles can range from the simple three-strand braid to the more complex fishtail or four-strand braid. Whether you’re looking for a casual style to rock on the weekend or something more formal and sophisticated for a special occasion, a braid look will work perfectly. Here are our top 7 list of braids that you should try out this season:

1. Regular Three-Strand Braid

The regular three-strand braid is an easy and classic style that can be used for various occasions. To create this look, part your hair down the middle and separate each side into three sections. Then, take the right section of hair over the middle section and the left section over the new middle strand. Repeat these steps until your hair has been braided and secured with an elastic band at the end. This type of braid is perfect for those days when you’re in a rush but still want to look stylish!

2. Fishtail Braid

Try a fishtail if you’re looking for something slightly more intricate than the regular three-strand braid! This braid looks gorgeous on any hair length and works well as a formal and casual look. To achieve this look, start by dividing your hair into two sections, then take a small piece from one side and cross it over to the other, leaving it loose at first. Pick up another small piece from that same side and cross it to the other section again. Continue this process until all of your hair has been incorporated into two strands, eventually forming one single fishtail plait. Secure with an elastic band at the end!

3. French Braid

A French braid is similar to a regular three-strand braid, except this time, we’re adding extra pieces as we go along, creating a multi-dimensional effect. Start by separating your hair into two sections before taking one strand and crossing it over to combine it with the opposite side while simultaneously adding another piece from either side before repeating these steps until all of your hair has been incorporated into one thick French plait which can be secured with an elastic band at the end. This plait looks beautiful when worn as an updo or styled down in loose waves!

4. Upside-Down Braid

An upside-down braid looks best when worn with long tresses but can also be achieved even if you have shorter locks! To recreate this look, start by flipping your head upside down and brush through any tangles before parting off two sections from either ear area downwards (make sure not to clip them). Now just like with any other plait, start intertwining these strands as usual until you reach near your nape, where you need to flip back around to continue braiding downwards towards your ends, where you will finish off with an elastic band before styling it further if desired!

5. Dutch Braid

Think of this style just like a reverse French braid – instead of crossing pieces under each other, they are crossed over, creating depth and texture within each plait, making them stand out much more than traditional ones. Start with parting off 3 sections from either ear downwards before taking one strand and crossing it over its adjacent piece while simultaneously adding new pieces along its way till reaching towards your nape, where you will finish off just like any other plait before styling furthermore, if desired.

6. Milkmaid Braid

If you fancy something unique yet still very elegant looking, milkmaid braids are definitely for you! These are created similarly to French braids. However, instead of weaving them together, they usually are twisted around each other forming interconnected diamond shapes across their entirety, giving an overall exquisite appearance that would make anyone envy after looking at them once done correctly. Start braiding normally using 3 different strands. While doing so, twist each front layer underneath its opposite counterpart, thus forming those diamonds mentioned previously till reaching the lower back area, where you will finish up just like any other kind.

7. Four-Strand Braid

For those who seek complexity and unique kinds, 4-strand braids should be their go-to option here since they require lots of patience and time. Yet, the resulting products are always worth every single second spent on creating them due to their amazing fabulousness afterward…Start initially by separating 4 equal parts from either ear area onwards before intertwining every piece alternatively till reaching towards the lower back where you should finish off just like usual & voila – instant glamourousness awaits upon completion here.

For some reasons, like last-minute appointments or running late for school, it can be challenging to accomplish the perfect braid. But this tutorial below will show you how to do a lovely pull-through braid with a combination of fishtail braids using only elastics. And it can be done in just one blink of an eye (not though).
