Braids for girls are so awesomely beautiful that Disney made them even more famous.
Elsa’s braid was so popular, it was unreal. Then, many girls tried to copy Rapunzel’s braid to the best of their hair thickness’ ability.
TBH, I love braided hairstyles. I use to wear my hair with a side top french braid whenever I had a singing gig.
It made me look younger, dainty, and perfectly neat.
Braided hairstyles are a smashing trend lately because them being able to beautifully keep your hair out of your face. It does the same thing a ponytail does, only a lot less stiff.

Curly Braided Top Knot
Women with naturally curly hair can get away with a really volumized bun. Some women already find the usual top bun to be too common and boring. You can spice it up by adding a loose french braid starting on your fringe and connecting to your bun.

Most women don’t have hours to a lot to do their hair. This is why 10-15 minute braided hairstyles are heaven-sent! There’s no need for overkill products, curling iron, and whatnot. You can do this updo in less than 10-15 minutes! Isn’t that great? Depending on how quickly you can get dressed and do your makeup, you can get fully ready in an hour or so.

This particular style is meant for wet hair. There’s no denying we’ve woken up late for work more than once and those days left no time for our hair. If you’re this kind of woman, then you’ll love this two-minute braid.
Double Dutch Half Up
A very subtle and delicate look is perfect for cold date nights, prom looks, or school. The loose braids provide lots of volume and this is one of those braided hairstyles that can be done in 5-10 minutes!

Personally, I love the waterfall braid. But, it’s one of those braided hairstyles I can never get no matter how hard I practice. To this day, I have not gotten the hang of it. Maybe the video below will help you more than it did me! :)
No-Braid Braid
For those challenged by braiding, here’s a clever trick to getting braids without actually braiding. It’s all about pulling hair through another ponytail and doing the same in succession. It’s pretty easy if you ask me and that’s saying a lot! ;)
2-in-1 Dutch
I am in love with this! Dutch braided hairstyles are my weakness and the gradient colors of her hair make this even dreamier! You can opt for either having half down or keeping the rest in a messy ponytail.

Wrapped Pull-Thru Braid
A crown of braids? Yes, please! This makes you look like royalty without being so girly. Something about this hairstyle gives off a strong yet feminine feel to me. It sort of reminds me of the queen of the Disney movie Brave.

Side Swept Fishtail
Would you agree that this is a great fall look? There’s something about the season that does wonders for your hair. Probably because there’s barely any humidity and you don’t have to extensively wash your hair every day.
Dutch Fishtail Combo Side Braid
Start with a soft loose dutch braid crown and finish with a distinct and well-formed fishtail braid. I love how delicate the crown looks and how defined the tail is. A perfect balance of both sides.
Side Elastic Braid
Not in a million years and not even a million hair products would help me get this full volume of braids. My hair is paper-thin which means braided hairstyles don’t work all that well for me. All I can work is a side braid on the top of my head and I’m happy with that. But for those of you who can totally achieve this thickness, give this a try!
