Braids Are Always in Style

Braids are one of the most versatile and universally flattering hairstyles. They work for casual weekends, professional settings, weddings, and everything in between. The beauty of a braid is that it can be as simple or as elaborate as the occasion demands.

Here are our favourite braided styles from the team at Fluff in Denver.

The Classic French Braid

A single French braid down the back is timeless. It keeps hair completely off your face while looking polished enough for work or a nice dinner. Start with second-day hair for the best grip and use a light texturizing spray before braiding to prevent slippage.

Loose Side Braid

For a more romantic look, gather your hair over one shoulder and create a loose three-strand braid. Pull gently on each section after braiding to create a soft, undone texture. This style looks beautiful for outdoor events and photographs exceptionally well.

Braided Crown

Two braids that wrap around the head create an elegant crown effect that is perfect for weddings, formal events, or any occasion where you want an updo with character. This style works best on medium to long hair and benefits enormously from bobby pins and a strong-hold spray.

Half-Up Braided Detail

Take a small section from each side of your head, braid them, and pin them together at the back while the rest of your hair stays down. This adds interest and keeps hair out of your face without committing to a full updo. It takes under 5 minutes and works for almost any setting.

Braids and Extensions

Extensions give braids more volume and length to work with, making even simple braids look more impressive. If you have fine or short hair and love braided styles, extensions can open up possibilities that your natural hair alone cannot achieve.
