This is probably the most popular summer trend! Add a braid to any hair style and its an instant summer style. They are a great way to get bangs or hair out of your face and add excitement to your style with out too much effort. The key to great summer braids is to keep the braids loose and flowy. Try using clear hair bands and bobby pins to keep the braids in place.
Messy side braid: To achieve this look you want to scrunch your hair first with a texturizing product like Alterna’s Texture Glaze cocktailed with Kevin Murphys curl enhancing Motion Lotion while your hair is damp, diffusing until its completely dry. Then loosely pull your hair to the side, letting the shorter pieces fall out, taking bigger sections braid hair on the side and tie at the bottom leaving an inch or two of unbraided hair to show the texture (wave). Nicole Richie always pulls this look off really well!
