7. Side French Braid
The side French braid is simple, pretty, and easy to wear. It starts at one side of the head and moves diagonally or down the side. This style looks softer than boxer braids but still keeps hair neat.
A side French braid is perfect for everyday summer activities, relaxed weekends, shopping trips, and casual lunch dates.
Who It Suits Best
This style works well for medium to long hair. It is a great choice for anyone who prefers a softer, less structured braid.
Styling Tips
- Start the braid near the temple or crown.
- Add hair gradually as you braid down the side.
- Keep the braid firm to prevent slipping.
- Use a clear elastic at the end.
- Pull out a few soft face-framing strands if you want a relaxed look.
