Summer is the perfect time to have fun with our hair, with braids being one of the hottest trends on our radar. This year’s favorites feature pops of neon colors, face-framing baby braids, 1/2 up 1/2 down with beach waves, and accessorized with bows. Hide the effects of humidity and embrace the flyaways with braids for a sexy / sultry boho vibe. Brides are wearing amped up fishtail braids with extra volume over long, loose textured waves getting the extra volume needed from extensions, while going for ultra long hair with pops of neon using custom-colored clip ins isn’t just for festivals this summer. Bows are going strong and add a gorgeous finishing touch to more polished braids. Whether our skill level is hovering somewhere around basic to those who are a little more dexterous, there are braids styles we can’t wait to try, for workdays, beach getaways, and hot summer nights. We have the inspo and tutorials from easy to pro for the braids we will be wearing all season long:
