Parade of Braids

Lately, there’s been a wave of braids flooding social media and every Pinterest page possible. Celebrities such as the Kardashians are wearing them on a daily basis, sparking a trend of fans of the look. Whether it’s two braids, one, several braids, or side braids; braids are extremely popular this season. Braids are excellent because they’re not hard to do and they fit every face shape. They’re perfect for switching up a normal day of wearing your hair down or if you want to get your hair out of your face in a stylish manner. Whether you’re on the go or simply spending a day lounging around, braids fit every occasion. Like the bun, braids are fast and simple, yet still different enough to be noticeable.

There are different types of braids to do depending on your hair length and personal preference. There is the one braid in the ponytail or a braid around your bun. There are the tiny braids hidden in random places in the hair, the milkmaid braid, and the side braid. The simple two braids are currently the most popular. Everywhere you go, you see them. Like the bun, boys are rocking braids too. Take Asap Rocky for example. In fact, there’s a new trend on Instagram of men wearing braids and hastagging #manbraid. (Click link below)
