These easy braids for long hair prove that gorgeous hairstyles don’t have to be complicated.
It’s fun to do braids, especially on long hair. You and your friends have probably braided each other’s hair on a Saturday afternoon, or at school while waiting for your sundo. Knowing how to braid can also lead you to create other hairstyles like the floral braid or braided buns. If you’re a hairstyling newbie, though, don’t be overwhelmed by seemingly complicated braided ‘dos. Here are easy braids for long hair that you can try.
5 Easy braids for long hair that you can do quickly
1. Basic French braid
This classic braid never goes out style. With our country’s heat and humidity, the French braid is a perfect hairstyle especially when you’re going to the gym or touring around the city. Get your hair styled this way and look oh-so-pretty as you go about the rest of your day.
Editor’s tip: Get that definite hold and control for your braid that can take your look from day to night with TONI&GUY Body Amplify Creation Hairspray.
2. Side braid
Add a twist to your regular braid by putting it on the side. This is an easy hairstyle you can whip up before leaving for school. A side braid is also a perfect ‘do for an afternoon chikahan session with your friends over coffee and pastries.
Editor’s tip: Boost your hair’s natural volume while making it soft and easy to style by washing it with DOVE Oxygen and Nourishment Shampoo and DOVE Oxygen and Nourishment Conditioner.
3. Dutch braid
The Dutch braid is similar to the French braid. You use the same braiding technique, but when making a Dutch braid, you cross the strands over each other instead of under. This hairstyle keeps strands off your face, so this is perfect for working out at the gym or doing yoga.
Editor’s tip: Spritz hair with TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray before braiding to give your more more grip to let the hairstyle hold.
4. Headband braid
Who needs a headband when you can make one with your hair? To create the headband braid, part your hair deeply on one side. Then, take a small section of hair, around an inch thick, near your hairline and braid it. When you reach the tips, secure your braid with an elastic. Wrap the braid around your head. Hold the rest of your hair up as you let your braid cross under your hair. Finish by securing your headband braid with a bobby pin.
Editor’s tip: When you’re done braiding, spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray on your hair to keep frizz at bay.
5. Rope braid
Among the easy braids for long hair, the rope braid is the easiest. Just tie your hair in a ponytail and then divide your hair into two sections. Twist each section in one direction, then cross them over each other. Tie the end with an elastic. No sweat!
Editor’s tip: Nourish your long hair and make it strong at it grows with Sunsilk Strong & Long Shampoo and Sunsilk Strong & Long Conditioner.
