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!
