    Classic chic like Selena Gomez 

    How-to: Pull all your hair to one side and braid normally. Finish with an elastic that matches your hair color and use fingers to gently loosen the weave a bit. This look is super cute and totally wearable anytime—perfect for the beach because it keeps the hair outta your face or rock it for a night out, like Selena.

    Fabulous fishtail like Vanessa Hudgens:

    How-to: Rock a casual fishtail with a center part like Vanessa Hudgens—a looser braid is perf for the pool. Or get fancy—just pull back your bangs back and rock a bump!  A cute hair tie accessory makes your style unique.

    Accessorize it like Bella Thorne:

    How-to: Intertwine a ribbon through your hair or tie one at the end of your braid to add a pop of color and style to your look, like Bella Thorne. It’s super easy: Just choose one of the three sections and braid the ribbon in with that section!

    Crowned cutie like Elle Fanning:

    How-to: Get fancy with a cool crown braid. Elle Fanning looks simply elegant—plus, it keeps your hair away from your face. Check out our tutorial HERE.
