Fun fact: braids date back to pre- Ancient Egypt (African cornrows are actually the first recorded braided styles), and used to be a way to indicate a person’s social status. Isn’t it funny to think a hairstyle that’s thousands of years old is still so relevant.
From a classic three-strand plait to a cool fishtail braid, or a chic French plait to a romantic waterfall braid – via inverted styles, box braids, and more – the options really are endless. And we’ll show you how to do them all – plus the best ways to style them right now.
