5 cute and easy braid hairstyles for school
Because braids have gorgeously evolved into so many different styles and forms, they’re no longer just a kindergarten look that you’re glad to have finally outgrown. Braid hairstyles are everywhere these days: red carpets, runways, music festivals, fashion and beauty editorials, and YouTube tutorials. Once a boring style featured in stereotypical movies worn by uncool kids, braids have become one of the trendiest hairstyles of all time.
The difficulty level varies for different braid hairstyles; and of course, the more intricate they look, the harder and longer they are to create. Since we want you to be able to rock this style in school, we’ve put together cute looks that are easy enough to make so you don’t have to be late for class. We have one for every school day so you can switch your style as often as you’d like!
