‘Tis the season for braids, braids, and more braids, thanks to the oppressive heat that’s currently destroying the majority of the country. Which is great news for everyone opposed to wearing the same topknot or ponytail every single day for three months straight, especially if you’ve got a zillion hands, major hair skills, and can master every crazy intricate fishtail, lace, and Dutch braid.
But if you’re just stuck with your 10 fingers and basic three-strand-braid skills, then hey—we’ve got you covered. Because the prettiest, go-to braid of the summer isn’t a fancy, 13-step braid, but the classic French braid, wrapped across the crown, or twisted into a bun, or split into two, simple braids, as seen on practically every celebrity in Hollywood. And to get you inspired to follow our lead, we rounded up our 30 favorite celeb-inspired French braid looks of all time. Check out the best of the best, ahead, and get braiding!
