So, around Day 3 hair (meaning: I haven’t washed my hair in 3 days), I start needing to get creative. Enter, the side braid. This style is trendy right now, and I’ve seen women of ALL ages sporting it!

What I love most about it is that it’s so versatile. You can wear it half up/half down for a date night, or go sporty and wear it in a ponytail.

Braiding is definitely a learned skill, so if you don’t know how to braid, I wouldn’t recommend trying this style as your first go. But braiding can be learned! You just have to practice, practice, practice!

Here’s how to style your hair into a “Princess Side Braid.”
