Style Trends: Braids

Braids have been HUGE this year, for both casual and formal styles. I was thinking of doing a YouTube tutorial on how to DIY some braided styles, like the fishtail braid, shown below. I had a side braid in my hair in the Birchbox Video, did you like that one?

Personally, I love them. Whether you go with a small hidden little guy or a thicker braid, like the one shown below, braids can you fullness and texture.

At every event we do, pretty much every girl tells me before we start that they really don't want it slicked back, tight to the head. I find this amusing because, of course they don't want that, I don't know why they think I would do that to them. After all, it is not your 1st grade dance recital or prom in the 90s. I guess everyone has had a tragic experience having their hair done, so I smile and say ok.

But back to the braids, over time, I have posted some photos to the blog and created a board onPinterest of styles I like to use for inspiration. What do you think of this one?
