Two braids braided on the sides look very interesting. This hairstyle is comfortable, so it can be done for sports, shopping, walking and simple everyday life.

Hairstyles with braids for medium length hair
Today, medium hair length is considered the most universal. Because they are not inconvenient, but are also ideal for experimenting with hairstyles. Among the simplest weaving options are the classic and French braids. Many girls make them themselves without any problems. A little more complex is the four-strand weave. This is the kind of braid that looks luxurious on hair of any thickness. For festive events, you can make a more complex hairstyle with two braids. If you are planning to create a romantic look, it is better to braid your hair only to the back of your head. The rest of the strands can be curled with a curling iron.

Such hairstyles are often decorated with large beads or floral decorations. The headband hairstyle has become trendy this year.
