The Perfect Braids For the End of Summer

We’re already looking forward to our favorite fashion season, fall, but the temperatures outside are indicating that summer is still in full swing. When it’s hot outside, all you want to do is to keep your hair off your face and there’s no better way to do it than with braids.

There are many different styles you can do with braids, whether your hair is short or long, thick or thin, dark or blonde, or any other color. Braids are great for many different occasions, from the beach to work to formal events, and once you braid your hair you can be confident it will look amazing all day long. Braids have also been a favorite look of many brides this summer, which only tells us that there are no limits with this hairstyle.

Afro styles are perfect for girls with thick hair but many other varieties exist and you can pick whatever works best for you and your hair.

Below is a gallery of some of our favorite styles we found on Instagram, so you can use them as inspiration for your own end-of-the-summer braid hairstyles!
