There is no need for too elaborate solutions to avoid suffering from the heat and always be trendy. Just just braiding your hair and an Instagram-proof hair is ready to receive hundreds of likes in a short time. That the braids are between hairstyles wannahave of the moment, the celeb social networks confirm this, first of all Chiara Ferragni who just recently showed off a couple of baby braids leaving two locks free to frame her face.
Baby braids to be effortlessly cool
It is precisely the braids as a child that are in the spotlight of the trend, also considering that we are also anxiously waiting for the new TV series signed by Tim Burton to be broadcast on Netflix which will see a Wednesday Addams (who will have the face of the actress Jenny Ortega) twenty years old and in the unprecedented role of detective.
What will not fail will be her legendary hairstyle made up of two braids this time worn with bangs and that will certainly continue to influence the trends for the hair also for next season.
Marina Marcuccetti, owner of Cotril Salons By Marina in Forte dei Marmi, speaks of the braids trend and the versatility of this hairstyle, especially now that the temperatures are on fire: braid represents a perfect hairstyle for any occasion, from the red carpet to the gym, which in recent years has certainly returned to the fore in its various versions: from the classic to the French, from boxer braids to herringbone. In summer, even more so, braids are a fresh and wearable look on the beach all day that can also be combined with a reconstruction treatment, for example: you do the treatment, collect your hair in two braids and go all day at the beach without problems ».
The trendiest braids? The micro 70s and the tribal ones
Already the Spring / Summer 2022 catwalks had announced the success of this hairstyle that can be declined according to the mood and one’s attitude. The stars didn’t wait to show us the trend path to follow. From Hailey Bieber and Valentina Ferragni who sported Coachella-style micro front braids as previously shown at the Altuzarra fashion show by Gigi Hadid and Margot Robbie on the red capet of Once upon a time in America had relaunched a few years ago.
«Gigi Hadid’s micro front braids combined with are very popular this year
loose hair moved by natural but also straight waves. Even the boho style braid, that is
that soft, low braid, with a slightly messy effect and with small free locks a
framing the face, has been seen a lot on the last red carpets and gives that allure
romantic that does not seem to go out of fashion. See under Hailey Bieber, ”confirms the hairstylist.
To conquer for the summer that has just begun also the afro braids that Rihanna likes so much and that Elodie too often shows: «Elodie’s afro braids in the XXL version, another seasonal trend, can be natural or made with extensions of their own nuance, but also in a lighter or contrasting shade. The result is a tribal and certainly very summery look. As for the products to make the braids, I recommend saline sprays, or mousse, which texturize the hair making it more workable. Wet effect waxes can also be useful, it always depends on the result you want to obtain », suggests the expert.
Practical, fresh, strategic, refined, graphic, perfect for a party, a special event but also just as an anti-heat remedy. Strict and very tight or softer and bohemian, they can be embellished with small jewels or satin ribbons. In short, with a thousand souls, the braids conquer everyone.
And also the Meraki Collection, which takes up the trend of braids, by Joico’s hair stylist and European Design Team Member, Sevda Durakan, is designed for strong women, confident in their individuality and who want to show it off also and above all on their hair: “Come on festivals to weddings, braids are a creative style that adapts to a variety of looks and occasions – comments Sevda – From elegant and sophisticated to more bohemian and relaxed vibes, braids can be adapted to the individual and his preferences ».
