Half-braided hairstyles are a must-have if you love easy ways to pull back your locks. You can enjoy the beautiful simplicity of letting your hair down, with a touch of spontaneity added by your braids. All this and not having to brush the hair out of your face every few minutes – can you imagine?

A half updo with braids is a beautiful way to start your morning. You can easily style it yourself. Experiment with different types of braids and enjoy the ease and cuteness of your free-flowing locks.

This style is the definition of a beautiful mess. To get the casual vibe of a loose braid, pull the rope braids apart a bit after tying them so they don't look too finished for an everyday hairstyle. Loose and relaxed is all the rage at the moment!
