If there's one hairstyle I love, it's a braid. Whether it's a simple hairstyle like a braided ponytail or long, dramatic knotless box braids, the look is versatile, timeless, and undeniably chic. Braids can be a quick and impromptu option for straight and wavy hair or double as a protective style for those with textured hair.
If you're new to braids, don't worry — getting started is easy. "The classic three-strand braid is the foundation for all braided styles. Mastering this basic technique is essential to tackle more complex looks," explains Kendall Dorsey, celebrity hairstylist and Color Wow Curl Global Ambassador. The hairstyle options are endless once you have the classic braid down to a science.
