8 Celebrity Braided Hairstyles You Can Actually DIY
See how to recreate these gorgeous celebrity braided hairstyles -- stylist to the stars not required
There's something so enchanting about braided hairstyles. Braids are one of the few effects that can transform a hot mess of unwashed hair into an ethereal masterpiece. To that end, I'm not ashamed to admit that I spend a good amount of time on Pinterest swooning over boards dedicated to intricate braided hairstyles.
Unfortunately, this routine also involves repeatedly muttering "but how?" under my breath and remembering that I can barely finish a French braid on myself while others can do it with their eyes closed. So, I click out of Pinterest and my hair goes into a ponytail. Again.
But if this sounds familiar, keep reading. Celebrity stylists Florido Basallo and Amber Maynard of Nine Zero One Salon (and its famed braid bar) are giving the braid-challenged (like yours truly) a glimmer of hope. The two experts were more than happy to break down seemingly complicated braided hairstyles into a handful of easy to follow steps. Actually seeing how these celebrity hairstyles came together from start to finish -- instead of just looking at a polished paparazzi shot -- makes them far less intimidating.
Combine these braided hairstyles how-tos with celebrity stylist Marcus Francis' tips for better braiding and you'll be well on your way to A-lister-worthy 'dos. Click ahead to start recreating these gorgeous celeb braided hairstyles now.
