Braids are Buzzing for Back to School!! Get the Latest Catwalk Trends for School!

Michele Bell can relate back when she was a little girl wearing braids to school. She says “My mother would sit me in front of the TV watching Popeye and part my hair down the middle and make two braids on each side and thought, geesh, they are too perfect! I could not wait til the end of the school day and wear them messy, I felt so much more comfortable and more myself, I just love a natural, down to earth look when it come to hair, that’s just me! The trend now is that fashionable braids can add funk and texture to any hairstyle.”

The major hairstyle trend this season is the braid. They are in fashion magazines and all over this seasons Catwalk. Just like many other trends, braids can be styled differently and look very different depending upon the occasion.

This season, the braids come in two main styles: one that is Swiss influenced and another that is for the hobo Amazon look.

Normal elegant styles can be styled as “messy chic”.

The key to this look is DON’T be too neat! Draw a messy center part and make a braid behind each ear. Cross both plaits over your head and secure them with bobby pins. Set with hairspray.   One hint is to smooth beeswax on the braids to keep them from coming loose.

Look at some cute looks below. Feel free to add your comments and photos onto my blog.
