French braid:

Experiment with French braiding your hair in different ways! You can do a classic version, tightly woven and started from the top down. Another way to do it is looser and messy, and leaving wispies out in front. If you want some edge in your braid, how about incorporating cornrows for a multi-braided, fun vibe?! Tie off the bottom with a clear elastic, an elastic matching your hair color, or even a ribbon!

 
 

Side French braid:

Another great way to do the French braid is to the side! Start loosely braiding from the nape of the neck and move down the length of the hair, taking the hair to the side. Or, start the braid on one side of your head and French braid at an angle around the head.

 
 

French braid ponytail:

Try mixing up a French braid and ponytail for a quick, cute hairstyle! This is a perfect style for a dressy outfit or if you make it more casual it can even be worn to the gym.

 
 
 
 

French braid updo:

A French braid can be a great base for an updo by wrapping up or tucking under the bottom of the braid. It’s an elegant look! If you want to add some pizzazz to your ‘do, add some fun colored bobby pins along the braid.
