Photos and Hairstyles with Braids
sides
Among the various options for built-in braids, side braids are great inspirations to pin your hair to the side.
And as inspiration for a hairstyle with a built-in side braid, the idea here brings a mix of braids. At the top of the head, the built-in braid holds part of the hair in a thin braid, and when reaching the side, the hair is caught in a side built-in braid, which continues until the end of the length.
Another suggestion for the hairstyle with a side braid is this suggestion of mixing the braid with the ponytail, which gives an up to the hair held in the ponytail.
In the proposal, one of the sides of the locks gain a built-in braid that goes to the back of the head, where the hair is tied in a ponytail.
fish scale
The braids known as fish scale or herringbone follow a different style of braiding, and instead of gathering 3 locks, like traditional braids, they only gather 2 locks, which gives this different effect to the braid.
As inspiration for fishtail braids, the proposal here brings a side braid that starts at the top of the head and runs along the entire length of the hair.
For those who want a simpler look with the fishtail braid built in, you can be inspired by this version where the braid was done only at the back of the head.
In the proposal, the hair was all combed back and the braid starts in the embedded style from the root and goes towards the length, trapping all the hair in a modern and differentiated braid.
To finish off the hairstyle, the bet was to use a lock of your own hair over the elastic that holds the braid, giving the idea that the end of the braid is held by the hair itself.
Double
For those who want a hairstyle inspired by the style of boxer braids, you can be inspired by this idea of wet and double braids on top of the head.
Instead of following the braids along the hair, the proposal here holds only the front of the hair and takes the braids to a bun on top of the head, which holds only part of the hair, leaving the hairstyle half-up style.
The rest of the hair used loose was curled at the ends, which gives the locks a neater look.
For those who want a more classic inspiration from boxer braids, you can be inspired by this idea.
The proposal here brings the built-in and double braids starting from the front of the head and moving towards the length of the hair.
And instead of going to the ends of the hair, like the classic boxers, the braids end at the nape of the neck and the strands are tied in a ponytail.
on the fringe
For those looking for ideas of hairstyles with built-in braids that hold only part of the hair, it is worth following inspirations of hairstyles with braids on the fringe, which holds the fringe in a different way.
In the proposal, the idea was to tie the hair and leave a central part in a mohawk style. In this central part, the bangs were tied in a braid that goes to the back of the head, where the rest of the hair follows the half-up style with a more youthful and modern look.
Another proposal for a young and modern hairstyle is this inspiration that brings the hair in a half-up style with a modern and more laid-back look.
In the hairstyle, the central part of the head was pinned back and gained 3 built-in cornrows that hold the bangs.
The hairstyle still features a half updo with a relaxed bun, where the strands are looser and slightly messy.
Reversed
Among the ideas and possibilities of built-in braids, one of the ideas is the inverted braid, which starts from the nape of the neck and goes towards the top of the head.
As a proposal for an inverted braid with a bun, the idea here brings the braid starting from the nape of the neck and then a bun with a braid outline, which finishes the bun and maintains the idea of the hairstyle with a braid.
If the intention is to use inverted and built-in braids in everyday hairstyles, it is worth following this proposal that brings the braid from the nape of the neck and a more relaxed bun on top of the head.
The all-up hairstyle is a great bet for hot days and changes the classic everyday bun a little, after all, the inverted braid gives a new style to the everyday hairstyle.
In addition, the hairstyle still kept some strands loose in the front, leaving the look lighter and stripped.
In Short Hair
For those looking for hairstyle options for short hair, the built-in braids are perfect and fit from everyday hairstyles to formal hairstyle options.
In this proposal, the idea was to keep the hair loose and pull the braid from the top of the head and direct it to the side.
The braid goes to the back of the head and is secured under the loose hair.
The result is a hairstyle with loose hair that features the braid as a detail that holds part of the locks.
Another option for women with short hair is braids and side braids only at the root, as shown in this option.
For the hairstyle, the idea was to divide the hair on the side and take the smaller side to make two cornrows, which hold this entire side of the hair.
The cornrows end just past the ear and the end is hidden behind the loose hair.
for marriage
Among the options for wedding hairstyles, one of the bets that can be used by brides, bridesmaids or even guests are the built-in braids trapping all the hair, as in this option.
The hair all tied up is perfect for showing off the back of the dress and is a great hairstyle choice for hot days.
In this proposal, the braid leaves some strands loose, making the hairstyle lighter and more relaxed, a perfect option for a younger and less formal look.
Another perfect option for weddings is the braided bun, a solution that mixes two hairstyles and escapes the idea of the traditional formal bun, giving the hairstyle a more modern touch.
In this proposal, the built-in braid starts at the top of the head and continues to the back, where the hair is all trapped through the bun.
To maintain the younger look of braids embedded in hairstyles, the idea was to leave a fringe on the side and a few loose strands, which leaves the hairstyle all tied up less “lady” and with a much more current style.
