Braids are great for tying down uncontrollable hair and livening up your style.  While all girls learn how to braid, new and intense hairdo’s can seem out of reach. Here are some of the best braids out there, without getting too crazy!

The Messy Braid

Much like a normal braid, the messy braid is easy to execute, but gives a bohemian flair. It’s a carefree style that’s perfect for any time you feel easy-going.

 

The Fishtail Braid

Suprisingly, it is easier than even the regular braid because it only uses two strands! However, it looks much more complicated and exotic.

 

The Braided Bun

Perfect for controlling your hair or for decorating your up-do! It is a classy style that makes any bun look fresh and pretty.

 

The Half Up Braided Crown

Easy to do and fun to wear, it keeps your hair out of your face while making the back of your head look ridiculous! Plus, this one even has a tutorial!

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
