One of the big hair trends for this season is braids. From side-swept to fishtail to French braids, this style has been called elegant, sophisticated, and practical.
A story in the International Herald Tribune said of braids: “There is nothing more practical, romantic and easy-to-do than all kinds of braided hairstyles. Braids and braided head buns make you look like a character from a rose tinted Jane Austen novel. Braids have been adopted and reinvented in every wave of fashion the world has come across. From Grecian goddesses to the contemporary supermodels, every woman has tried to twist and turn braids to create their respective signature looks. Besides, milkmaid braids and side-swept, overlapping braid hairstyles are also making a comeback this season.” (http://bit.ly/uFMnZo)
