Intricate Braids Hair Styles

Braids have a romantic, ethereal, storybook appeal. There is something timelessly feminine and alluring about them. Though they range in complexity from the super simple to the calculus-esque challenging, braids have a bohemian edge that is in high demand come September.

Braids were not restricted to one silhouette this season. We saw edgy, rock and roll re-imaginings and dainty, ballerina braid crowns as top fall/ winter 2018-2019 hairstyle trends. They add texture to the hair without overwhelming it and they infuse any look with sartorial depth. Braids are never confined to any one region of the scalp and they play well on all hair – from the nape of the neck to the crown of the head.

We loved the face-framing duo braids at Negris Le Broom. Naeem Khan topped off a rich chignon with a framing braid.

At Simone Rocha, a delicately romantic Victorian era braid was arrestingly feminine and beautifully crafted. At Alexander McQueen, braids were long and Amazonian.

Jil Sander’s futuristic robot babe braids were totally unusual and captivating! We love that the classic braid is still undergoing a constant evolution and being constantly reimagined.
