I like Lauren Conrad's because her hair is down, not too fond of the up-do's with braids though.

 
I love them, but I wish I could do it on myself - I can never do it, someone has to do it for me.

 
I LOVE braids! I wish I could do french braids better though, mine turn out quite sad. And most of those shown are french braids! I can't imagine doing it from the side either that would be awkward for those of us that can barely to one at all lol

Maybe I'll enlist my mom in doing it for me sometime (only person I know that french braids other than my girlfriends boyfriend lol)

Heres my first attempt at the Arwen braid (and a poor picture sorry my boyfriend took it ha)

I've since been able to do it a bit better than that picture. Practice! I also love herringbone and 5 strand braids as well

 
i love them, if i could just figure out how to secure them right i'd probably run around in braids half the time.

and wow, sear, that's intricate!

Danke, yeah it's hard to weave that your arms about fall off lol. What do you mean by secure them right?
 
Hey that's beautiful ! I'm glad i'm not the only one who can't do french braids. Anytime i try to do one, it ends up too loose and it almost falls apart. I have the sample problem with herringbones. So i'm stuck with the basic 3 strand braid.

Coco, what do you mean by secure them right ? You mean at the ends ? I either use very small hair elastics, or i use a bit of hairspray on the ends, it acts like glue lol.

Have you ever tried a braided braid? It looks really cool/intricate but it's SO easy and others are easily impressed with it lol

Long hair past my butt, tied in a high ponytail with 3 3-strand braids braided in one. I was happy because mom has taken the time and patience to braid my hair, but it looked funny. I suppose i could try again, my hair is much thiner now than it was then.

Maybe it was because it was in a pony tail and then braided? My mom rarely braided my hair even though I loved it lol, my aunt would sometimes though and I loved it. It's probably why I still braid so much because I'm living up my childhood lolI found this picture of a braided braid (I was taking a picture of my new corset at the time lol). But this is edited for my long hair forum I frequent, I made my braid about 6 inches longer than it is in the original picture (which is my ultimate length goal/classic length)
