5 Easy Basic Braids for beginners

You don’t have to do these easy braids in a high ponytail if you don’t like to wear your hair up like that. All these braids can also be done in loose hair down your back, on one side, or in a half up half down hairstyle, if that is more comfortable for you.

These braids are great for when you want to spice up a ponytail, for when you need a very practical hairstyle or for that greasy second or thrid day hair, that is perfect for a slick ponytail!
