Braid alert this season! There is something about this simple
hairstyle that makes it so
special. First of all, braids are uber-cute and girly, yet they can
be extremely elegant and effortlessly chic. Second, braids allow
you to have fun while trying a myriad of stunning versions, from
simple to more complex ones. Well, not to mention that it only
takes an instant to achieve a pretty braid. Therefore, make the
most of your beautiful long locks and rock this perma-trend!
Among the simplest and most chic fall 2011 DIY braided hairstyles there is
one timeless trend that comes back strong season after season: the
basic braid. It is extremely easy to master this style and you can
wear it at school, at work, or even at an important, more formal
event. We have seen it at Lanvin and Emilio Pucci in a looser
version with a center parting and soft flyaways framing the face.
Nevertheless, the braid looks healthy and it starts at the nape of
the neck.
You can also create an ultrafeminine side braid as spotted at Band
of Outsiders or Mara Hoffman. Remember to keep it slightly messy
and avoid the too severe look by keeping the ends rather
undone.
A tighter, tight-to-the-head braid was seen at Carlos Miele.
Start by making a high ponytail and secure it using an elastic
band. Next, take a hair section and wrap it around the pony's base.
Then, braid the flowing section and secure it with another elastic
band. Remember to keep your style sleek! Fresh, clean and simple is
also the beautiful and already popular fishtail braid (Erdem).
Divide hair into two equal sections. Take a small section on the
right and cross it over the left section. Then, take a thin strand
from the left and cross over to join the right. Repeat until you
reach the ends and secure your hair with an elastic band.
Groomed to perfection? Absolutely not when it comes to the fall 2011 hairstyle
trends. At Rag & Bone braids are fun, soft and girly,
perfect for the urban nomad approach. Besides, this style is easy
and quick to do in no time by simply making random braids
throughout your hair. You can achieve this look on a straight or
more tousled texture. If you want something more polished, take a
peek at Charlotte Ronson who comes with nearly hidden plaits, yet
with smooth hair and a sexy, effortlessly chic side parting.
It seems that milkmaid braids are
not just for summer. Models at Rachel Roy sported lovely milkmaid
braids interwoven with colored ribbons. Do a center parting
starting from the front to the nape of the neck. Divide hair into
two low sections, braid them and weave a fabric in with any section
of the three strands of the braid. Secure braids with elastic
bands. Finally, take both braids up over the crown and pin them
into place. Apply some hairspray.
Pigtails are unfailingly playful and adorable. Still, what happens
when pigtails meet braids? The result is an irresistible,
uber-gorgeous hairstyle as spotted at Y3 for fall/winter 2011-2012.
Besides, the slightly imperfect result gives these braids a boho
vibe. The secret of this stunning look is to leave those French
braids looser. Besides, by creating lots of texture before you
start plaiting will make hair look thicker and healthier. Also,
ensure the finish is unkept in order to make this trend look fresh
and fun.
