Now You Can Upgrade Your Braid In 4 Ways!

One of the first hairstyles we ever learned was a three strand braid. Since then, we've relied on it fervently for traditional functions and for quick yet presentable looks.

Now You Can Upgrade Your Braid In 4 Ways!

After years and years, has your three strand braid gone from basic to boring? We thought so too. That's why we've figured out how you can upgrade your braid with 4 hair accessories.

1. Get chained

While chain jewellery was all the rage a few years ago, it has made its way to the hair world today. Hair chains can be pinned on either side of the head with a crown braid or can even be intertwined through one to give the tresses a metallic glint.

2. Choose florals

If there's one thing we learnt from Coachella, it's to add flowers to our hair as accessories. So the next time you braid your hair, embellish it with miniature flowers, running through the centre. Even tiny pastel flowers, whether they are fresh or artificial, will add a floral touch to your braid.

3. Opt for jewels

If you thought jewels were only for your neckline, you couldn't be more wrong. Hair jewels, or accessories encrusted with gems, will change the game for your tresses. The next time you braid your hair, add in a hair pin or comb with gems and watch how it adds a touch of elegance, even to the most basic braid.

4. Trust the ribbon

No, ribbons aren't reserved for pigtails anymore - after being spotted across designer runways, they are bonafide members of the hair accessory world. The next time you tie your hair in a braid, keep a ribbon handy. Add the ribbon to one of the hair sections, braid away and then use the excess ribbon to tie the ends.

Before your eyes, your basic braid will have disappeared and given rise to a chicer hairstyle. Try it for yourself!
