Fishtail Braid



Just like the Basic Braid, this braid turns out best if you pull hair back into a tight ponytail first. The difference between the two braids is that you are going to separate the ponytail into 2 strands instead of three.

Crown Braids




A crown braid, crown plait or "Yulia" is a traditional Ukrainian hairstyle usually worn by women with long hair consisting of a single braid wrapped around the head, as the trademark hairstyle worn by Ukrainian political Yulia Tymoshenko.

French Braids




In the simplest form of three-strand braid, all the hair is initially divided into three sections, which are then simultaneously gathered together near the scalp. In contrast, a French braid starts with three small sections of hair near the crown of the head, which are then braided together toward the nape of the neck, gradually adding more hair to each section as it crosses in from the side into the center of the braid structure. The final result incorporates all of the hair into a smoothly woven pattern over the scalp. If the main mass of hair is initially parted into two or more sections along the scalp that are kept separate from one another, multiple French braids may be created, each in its own section.

The Braided Up-Do



Running short on time but still want to look your best? Try easy up-dos with braids! Braided hairstyles have become more popular than ever. Braids are an easy way to make your hair stand out without adding a ton of products or accessories. Combined with the up-do, this versatile style exudes sophistication and romantic charm. Before you get started on your braided up-do, keep in mind that braided styles work best with medium to long hair 



Waterfall Brai


                                       
The waterfall braid is actually just a spin on the classic French braid. Learning how to waterfall braid is easy especially if you already know how to French braid. In fact, the two braiding styles are so similar.
