You’ve seen it on the red carpet, and even for casual days out and about… celebrities are rocking this trend for day and night. There are even salons in West Hollywood that are offering “braiding bar” services!

You don’t have to be a celebrity to try this style today. There are videos all over the internet on braiding how-tos. My favorite (but also the most challenging) is the fishtail braid.

The best thing about braids is that the style can be imperfect and a bit undone and still be very chic. Fortunately this style tends to work best on those of us that are typically plagued with frizz in this terribly humid weather.

Try a braid today, and stay cool in this crazy summer heat!
