Braids[]
When hair is separated into three segments and interlaced. A more complex version of the braid often referred to as French braid or fishtail braid is when more segments are used.
- Multi-strand Braids. The most common is of course the three strand. However, the two-strand and four-strand are becoming more and more popular. There is also the five and six strand braids. After that it can get very complicated.
- Waterfall Braids. The waterfall braid is currently the most popular braid. It is a great way to pull bangs out of your face and still have your hair down.
- Fishtail Braids. Another popular braid is the fishtail, also known as fishbone. Weaving intricate braiding style.
- French Braids. Aside from the basic French braid there is the inverted, or Dutch braid, the twisted braid and French fishtail. French braiding is more advanced than regular braids. It involves adding sections or hair to the main sections.
Bun[]
A hair style that usually pulls the hair from the face and is twisted or wrapped into a coil then held in place on the top or the back of the head. Another version of a bun is a knot.
Classic Beach Waves[]
Let wet or damp hair air-dry a bit more and use salt spray. Divide it into four sections, put it in a bun, and let your hair dry between 30-45 minutes. Let it out and just spritz the salt spray a bit more.
Dreadlocks[]
Rope-like strands formed from locking or braiding hair. There is permanent and temporary methods of getting fake dreadlocks. Permanent usually requires all the dreads to be cut off but there are alternative ways (or kits) to remove/undo them.
Knotted Bun[]
No hairstyle is as versatile as the fabulous top-knot. Put your hair into a ponytail to smooth it out. Then, you can use a smoothing gel or a texturizer, so you can have more control over sectioning. Take two pieces, tie it into a knot, and put pieces of your hair around it. Another option, because your hair is already in a ponytail, is to do a simple wraparound. Put it into that bun and it's ready to go.
Ponytail[]
When some, most or all of one's hair is pulled back from the face and secured at the top or at the back of the head and hangs similarly to what is the origin of it's name—a pony's tail.
- Chic Ponytail. The low pony tail is very in. One way you can give the pony an ultrachic look is to give your hair a deep-set part or a double-part, parting in a "v" shape, starting at the front to the back, and brush the ponytail so it's nice and smooth. Because we're dealing with a very simple, low ponytail, it's fun to play up the part so you can give it a different look.
