Here Are The Braids We Can't Wait To Try This Summer
Listen up. Braids are the GOAT when it comes to summer hairstyles. If you're looking for a hairdo to take you from the pool to the club to lunch, braids are the answer. They let you go about your day sweet and relaxed, without having to curl, straighten, or fuss with your hair. Braids are timeless, forever flying high, and easily adaptable to a healthy hair routine if you find the right stylist. Here are some braid hairstyles we love for the summer of 2023.
UNKNOTTED BRAIDS WITH STRANDS LEFT OUT
Draya Michele looks ready for summer with her braids styled into a high ponytail. We love the trend of leaving strands of hair loose and then braiding them. It looks effortless and is a fun change from neat and tidy braids.
CORNROWS WITH FINGER WAVES BRAIDED IN
Naomi Venerable is doing something with this style. We love the classic touch of 1920s It-girl glamour; it's perfect for lounging during the day or going out at night.
UNKNOTTED BOX BRAIDS WITH SIDE PART
We love a classic! Antoni Bumba looks chic with knotless box braids styled with a side part (braided by @nayastyles_). While we all love playing with texture and color, you can never go wrong with long black box braids.
BOB WITH BRAIDS
Novena Carmél serves us face, style, and everything with her braided short bob hair. Braids are not often styled like this, but they're actually versatile; in terms of style, you can wear them in various ways, so it's fun to see them braided like this. It's also great for summer when you don't want to deal with long hair.
BEJEWELLED CORNROWS
We love how Charlotte Mensah styled her client Nicola's hair for her wedding, adorning some cornrows with beads and pearl pins. The end result is stunning and can be restyled in various ways for other summer events (we're thinking rainbow-colored beads and feathers—the possibilities are endless).
FULANI GODDESS BRAIDS
Kayla Nicole has us wanting to get Fulani goddess braids with the same warm brown color, wearing a swimsuit, and sunbathing. Consider us influenced. Her hair was braided by @joliebeautybar_, and we're obsessed.
DEWI LOCS ON NATURAL HAIR
Jasmine Jean rocks her beautiful microlocs, and we're seeing more people twisting or braiding their natural hair for temporary loc styles. It's great for those who want a protective style but don't want to use hair extensions. It's also beautiful.
HALF-UP BRAIDS USING HUMAN HAIR
Ziweditu Jewel looks stunning with her three-month-old braids installed by Wildflowher Locs using human hair. Braids look great for a longer period, and honestly, the more lived-in they become, the cooler they look (cue the bohemian vibes of Zoë Kravitz).
FRENCH CROCHET CURLY BRAIDS
Melisza Mcpherson rocked pre-looped and pre-braided French curly braids in just three hours, and she looks amazing. This is the perfect summer hairstyle because you get the look of box braids in half the time. Crochet braids are game-changers.
LONG BUTT-LENGTH BOHO BOX BRAIDS
We haven't mastered all things about boho box braids yet. They were a thing last summer, and they'll be a thing this summer too. Jewellianna Palencia looks perfect
with her butt-length braids, so this style might have us swooning next summer as well.
