Just because you’ve cut your hair short doesn’t mean you stop experimenting with new styles. Whether you’re planning a dinner with friends or a brunch with colleagues, the braided trend never goes out of style.
Here are three unique braided hairstyles you would love to try out on your hair.

- Romantic updo braids
The romantic up do braid is just the right hairstyle to draw attention to your jawline. This braided hairstyle also becomes the perfect look for those casual daytime events. This bohemian look doesn’t even require you to have it done with precision and leaving a few loose ends here and there adds to the appeal.
Steps:
- Divide your hair into two sections from the middle
- Take a single section and begin French braiding from the bottom of your neck up to your crown area. You can choose to leave a portion of hair loose in the front to add a natural streak to the look.
- Secure the braided hair at the crown using pins
- Repeat the same process on the opposite section
- Remember to twist and overlap the second braided plait with the first one
- Add finishing touches to the braids with a good hairspray
This hairstyle can also be worn to wedding parties! Stand out from the crowd with these 10 amazing bridal hairstyles by Reward Me.

- Braided headband
Hair bands are cute accessories for your hair, and guess what? You can make one from your own hair in a few simple steps. This braided hairstyle is suitable for most short hairstyles, but if you have a more layered haircut, you may require some hair spray so that your hair stays in place.
Steps:
- Section your hair into two parts from the either of the sides
- Choose any one side from the partition and start braiding to the other end
- Take small portions of hair and gently introduce them into the existing plait
- Once your braided plait reaches the other side, you can secure it with bobby pins
- You can either leave it loose for a more relaxed look, or tie it up into a chic pony tail

- Half up fishtail braid
Having a bad hair day and can’t think of any other option but to tie your hair up in a messy bun? Fret not! Despite your hair being at its worst, you can still try something fun with it. The fishtail braid style will not only perk up your look but also keep the dry flyaways away from your face.
Steps:
- First, create a partition in the middle of your scalp
- From the left side, take a small portion of hair from the outer end
- Now wrap it over across the entire section
- From the same section, pick a small portion from the area near your temple and pull it across the opposite side, thereby creating a criss-cross pattern
- Keep doing this till you reach the end
- When the braided plait on the left side is complete, secure it with a bobby pin
- Repeat the same on the other side

With these innovative braids for short hair, your short hair can now take on a chic new avatar.

That’s great to hear Yiota. I love to tie my hair up on 2nd hair day as well. My hair gets greasy easily and it is easy to have it put away.

I love the braided headband hairstyle!!! I tried it once, but it didn’t look that good on me maybe because I have jet black hair… Or I just can’t braid properly 😛
