Braids From Day To Night

If you don’t have time to really style your hair, get in style with a braid. They have been seen on runways all over the world for fashion weeks. There are side braids, “milkmaid” braids, fishtails, messy, and sleek. Any way you wear them, they look fabulous.
If you want a messy braided look like the one pictured, use some texturizing spray and braid the bottom portion of the hair loosely. Gently pull out some of the strands on the opposite side to create a carefree look. You can take this from day to night by pairing it with some black sequined shorts and a sassy white blouse.

To create a sleek side braid, start with a low side part and use some High-Gloss Serum to tame those flyaways then braid tightly to secure. This look can take you from the office to happy hour, just put on some fun spring lipstick like corals or pinks and you're ready for a night out.

Can't decide?? Try this look like Blake Lively with a smooth ponytail and messy braid, it's a great compliment of both looks.

One of the best date-night hairstyles is a braid tied into a messy bun. This look is classy, yet casual. It can take you easily through the day from lunch with your girlfriends to a date by adding some flair. Pair this with some statement earrings and you have the perfect look. Make sure to pump up the volume at the crown to create a little drama.

One of the more recent braided looks coming back is the milkbraid. This is a look that I prefer to be looser, more relaxed. If it is pulled to tight it can look a little too "Little House on the Prairie," unless that is the look you are going for. The braid across the top of the head can make a style more interesting, giving a different look to the typical parting. I think Sienna Miller pulls this off beautifully.

Don't worry all of you bobbed beauties, try a simple braid across the front of your hairline to add a little spunk. (It is also a great way to get pesky bangs out of your face!). Try the messy bun braid by pulling the hair into a small ponytail at the nape of the neck too!
