If you want to stay away from the curling rod, this side braid hairstyle on silky, straight hair is your best bet. Middle-parted hair with braids on both sides, we love how the rest of the hair is left open to fall neatly on the shoulders. Don’t forget to pull out some tendrils from the front to frame your face.

Want to add some oomph to your ponytail game without trying too hard? Consider creating this half-up half-down embellished braid for Ganesh Chaturthi. To uncomplicate things, simply divide your hair into two sections and make a regular three-strand braid with the top section. Accessorise the braid with sequins or pearls to spruce up the look.

 

03. Inverted braids

Look at this hairstyle, an upgraded version of bubble braids. This hairstyle is super easy to create and will take you less than five minutes to create. Start by creating a side ponytail. Then, create a gap at the base of the ponytail and pull the rest of your hair through it. Secure with a hair tie. Repeat the process till you reach the end of your hair and voila! It really can’t get easier than this!
