There’s something about braided hair that is unabashedly feminine. And they’re versatile– you can wear them long and loose in a bohemian style, or sleek and sculpted for a more sophisticated look. Plus, all you need are your fingers– no heat or special tools– to achieve the perfect look.
Besides, braids are one of today’s hottest bridal trends, so you’ll be chic, stylish and beautiful on your big day!
