5 braids

Get it twisted

If you dig the braided look as much as we do, then you’ll totally flip out for these out of the box styles that’ll have your friends oohing and aahing! Learn how to recreate them below thanks to celebrity hairstylist Lachers Reese of Angelo David Salon.

The sassy snake French braid

Brush your hair in preparation for styling.

The snake braid step 1

Starting at the tip of your ear on one side, create a French braid going all the way across to the opposite side of your head and snaking back around again. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic hair tie.

The snake braid step 2

Using the pointed end of a teasing comb, start to lift and loosen the French braid by gently tugging it from underneath. Do this on the entire French braid to give it an effortless feel.

The snake braid step 3

Take the remaining ponytail braid, and create the illusion of a third French braid by pinning it across your head, going toward the opposite side. Secure tightly.

Thanks for this!! Braids are the way to go, for sure. I've been trying not to use any heat on my hair, so braids are the perfect go-to style for me. Thanks for all these ideas.
