2. One-Side Braid

Create a thin or thick braid over one ear by parting your hair severely to the side. Secure the end of the braid with a pin instead of tying it, leaving the rest of your hair loose for a rock-and-roll vibe. This edgy style is perfect for those who want a touch of rebellion without committing to a full head of braids. The contrast between the neat braid and free-flowing hair creates a unique visual dynamic. Experiment with a fishtail or Dutch braid for added texture. If you have layered hair, don’t worry about shorter strands falling out—they add to the casual look. Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep the style intact. This versatile look works for both day and evening events.
