From the messy hair to the casual braid to the flowy top, this boho-inspired look by @kassinka is gorgeous and perfect for something like an end-of-summer bonfire.

Amber Heard is one of the boldest fashion icons on the red carpet. She’s always eager to take interesting risks with her hair, makeup and fashion. Love this edgy braided updo she recently sported!
This half-braided buns look by @braidsbyjordan is easier to do than it looks. Simply braid 3 standard braids, twist them up into little buns and pin into place. Gorgeous.
Halo braids look gorgeous whether they’re small, medium or large! This interpretation by @__lipstickncurlss__ is showstopping.
This look by @tyler_whitley is arguably the most on-trend look on the list! Everyone’s into the undercut these days, but she takes it to the next level with immaculate, gorgeous braids.
Another casual take on a halo braid, @artikahairspa threw the rest of her hair into a messy bun. Love how this look can work for either day or night!
