1. High Side Braid

With the end of the braid tucked in at the back, you've got a stylish and sophisticated look that will stay in place all night.

2. Ponytail & Braids

hair, clothing, woman, girl, beauty, You might need an extra pair of hands to create this style, but it would look fantastic if you have really long hair.

With multi braids, texture and details take the spotlight. Your hairstylist can interweave thinner and thicker braids to create depth, or perhaps add hints of color through extensions for an even more dynamic look. Not only do they exude a chic vibe, but they're also wonderfully versatile—wear them up in a high ponytail to reveal your neckline, or let them cascade over one shoulder for a touch of whimsy. No matter the variation, these braids ensure your hair is anything but mundane, guaranteeing you'll be the undeniable center of attention.

4. The Tuck Braid

It won't take long to do, and you can easily style it yourself.

5. Fishtail Braid

6. Braided Bun

7. Half Updo Braid

hair, clothing, hairstyle, long hair, brown hair, You can get a really cute look for your date night with a half updo braid. It's a good style if you want to style your hair but leave some of it loose. All you need to do is plait a section of your hair and fixing it at the back, with the rest of your hair staying loose. You can plait the full length of the section or only a piece at the sides - your choice!

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

"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!

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.

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

Multi-braid all the way!!

Love braids ❤️
