We love braids & we love updos - so a braided updo is a no brainer. It's long been a trick of mine to braid some hair to tuck away or use as a base when a client has more hair then I know what to do with - but now I don't have to hide it. Braids add a more bohemian & textured look to any updo - obviously not your best bet for a formal foray but super on trend otherwise.
