French Braid

This braid includes three sections of hair that are braided together. Hair is gradually added to each section as the braid moves across the head. In this style, a French braid is used to add texture and interest while pulling the hair into a side.

Fishtail Braid

Three Strand Braid

The three-strand braid is the most common braid. This style consists of six traditional braids woven together. This style is great for someone with lots of hair.  The braids keep it secure without using a large amount of bobby pins.
