6. The Side-Swept Loose Braid

A classic braid is functional, but a loose, side-swept version feels much more styled and intentional. It’s perfect for adding a romantic element to your everyday outfit, especially if you have layers that you can leave out around your face.

How to Style

Sweep all your hair to one shoulder. Create a loose three-strand braid, ensuring you don’t pull the hair too tight. Once secured with an elastic, gently tug at the loops of the braid to make it look wide and voluminous. Pull out a few face-framing pieces for softness.
