Scarf French Braid
Add a bit of decoration to your braid by weaving in a ribbon or scarf. To get the look, Michelle Phan shares two versions of the scarf French braid hairstyle (both are equally cute).

Bonus tip: Make sure the scarf is a thin material, like lace or silk, which will give you a more polished result. As for the length of the scarf, it should be double the length of your hair since you need to loop it off at the end.

When we think back on braid hairstyles of the past, the French braid pigtails reigned supreme on the playground. But the trending braids we've been spying all over the runway are proof that braids are still the coolest hairstyle around, only now with a grown-up twist.

As carefree and whimsical as braids look, executing them can be difficult. So to figure out exactly how to make these princess-worthy braids a reality, we watched hundreds of YouTube braiding tutorials to find the videos that make every braid style completely doable.

From mermaid-y waterfall braids to messy fishtails and braided updos fit for an Olsen twin, here are the braiding tutorials you need to master the most gorgeous braid hairstyles.
