No matter the variation, these braids ensure your hair is anything but mundane, guaranteeing you'll be the undeniable center of attention.

7. Half Updo Braid

Whatever style you pick, have a great night - and enjoy the attention!

Multi-braid all the way!!

Still trying to master the fishtail braid

I have long hair but I don't no any nice stales help plz

Sorry the "French braid" is the "tuck braid" which in now noticing is a rope braid not even a French braid lol.

Half your pictures don't match up.. The first and the "French braid" one are both Dutch crown braids. They involve parting your hair in the middle (or side) and braiding both sides. Then pinning the hair to the other side. The second one is braided all around the head, and would look like a circle on the back. It would be very cool if you matched your pictures to what your describing lol.

Love braids ❤️

Multi braids? Those are called box braids.

"Women of color" I don't care how many "black women" you see in box braids. Anyone can pull off any style up here if you do it right. Don't bring ethnicity into it. We are all human!

Also not very good with names.. box braids = multi braid? What did you even Google that didn't call them box braids? Lol.

I love braids but sadly I got short hair. Fml.
