Braided Hairstyles for All Occasions

We have all tried and flaunted braided hairstyles at some point in our lives. No one wears braids as well as Indians, and they know how to wear braids boldly and with style in a variety of settings, from formal to ethnic. Long Indian braids have never gone out of style and have only become better with age, providing a unique style statement to any ensemble. Celebrities have worn braids on the red carpet and the runway, and we appreciate how adaptable the hairstyle is. Furthermore, it preserves the entire length of the hair intact without the need for clipping.

People have experimented with braids in recent years, and there are now numerous varieties, including fishtails, maiden braids, untidy braids, and the French braid. They are also known as plaits and are worn by ladies of various cultures and nationalities. They keep your hair neat and prevent flyaways from annoying you at work. The controllable haircut also helps to keep long hair from becoming tangled or torn when caught up in something. Also, a little secret: your hair can be as oily, terrible, and sticky as you want it to be; once you tie it in braids, no one will notice!

Here are some chick braid styles that you should rock with confidence. 

1. Lace Braid

The lace braid hairstyle is one you’ve probably seen a million times. It is a simple hairdo with a sophisticated appearance. Make a small Dutch braid at your hairline and leave the rest of your hair loose. This lacey work of art will be worn as a headband. Wear it with ethnic or Western clothing; either way, you’ll look stunning.

2. Partial Braid

This is a popular hairdo for brides. It not only provides you with fuller-looking hair, but it also improves your overall appearance. Simply brush your hair backward and form two to three little braids on each side to achieve this easy yet stunning look for your wedding day. Then, at the rear, crisscross them and pin them in place. To finish the hairstyle, curl the remaining hair. Furthermore, flowers and other adornments are frequently employed for embellishment.

3. Dutch Braid

The Dutch braid is the inverse of the traditional French braid. Because of the volume it imparts and its intricate appearance, this style has become increasingly popular on Indian brides in recent years. To achieve this look, braid two Dutch braids on each side of your head, and then braid both Dutch braids together into one conventional braid until you reach the nape of your neck. Once the braid is complete, begin loosening the hair to make it appear fuller.

4. Pull-Through Braid

In recent years, this form of cascading braid has been the most fashionable brides’ hairdo. It is done loosely to achieve a pleasing appearance. Begin by gathering two sections of hair from the back of your head and tying them into a ponytail. This ponytail should be flipped in and out of itself once. Split the tail of this ponytail into two portions, add more hair to these sections, knot them in a ponytail, and flip again. Repeat these procedures until you have all of your hair tied in a lovely braid. Spread and loosen the braid to give it a fuller appearance. Finally, accessorize with flowers to complete the ensemble. And now you’re all set for your wedding celebration. It’s even appropriate for a sangeet or haldi!

5. Side Braid

This braid may appear extremely simple, but believe us when we say it has an elegance all its own. The side braid is ideal for anyone who wants to appear to put effort into preparing their hair without actually doing so. Simply separate your hair down the center and gather it on one side. Flip your hair over your shoulder and braid it into a standard 3-strand braid. 

6. Accent Braided Flower Bun

Another way to style your hair this wedding season is to create a headband by doing a French braid across the top of your head. Roll and pin the rest of your hair into a large bun in sections. Flowers and accessories are required to complete this appearance successfully. This hairstyle may take some work to master, but the ultimate result is well worth the effort.

7. Twisted Braid

You don’t have time to get dressed or do your hair. We’ve got your back! This simple and lovely hairstyle can instantly improve your appearance. Part your hair however you want and divide it into two equal pieces. Twist both portions separately in a clockwise direction. Then, in an anticlockwise motion, interconnect the twisted parts. Use a hair elastic to secure the twisted braid’s end.

8. Messy Braid

This haircut demonstrates that your hair may be sloppy and exquisite at the same time. The trick to nailing this hairstyle is to treat your hair with texturizing spray before braiding it in a loose 3-strand braid. After you’ve secured the end with a hair elastic, begin pancaking the braid and pulling it apart to create a disheveled look. You can use a few pieces to frame your face in the front.

9. Standard Braid

Also dubbed the English braid, standard plaits are the most common hairstyle followed by the majority of females. Divide the hair into three equal sections, starting at the nape, to create a standard braid. Cross the right portion across it and the left portion over the middle one. Up until the braid is finished, repeat this process.

10. Crown Braid

The Crown braid is braided like a French braid and is somewhat comparable to Swiss braids. These braids take too much time to be woven, as small sections of hair from the crown area are added as the braid advances. Crown braids work well for medium to long hair and are best for curly-hair beauties, as they keep your crown neat and well maintained. You can accessorize your braids with different embellishments to make them look chic!
