Even though braids are not the most common hairstyle to witness on the streets, they can be a unique, not too cliché daily hairstyle people wear for everyday style.
Blackpink’s Jisoo
Braided pigtails usually have a misconception that it’s a hairstyle of a young, childish girl. However, Jisoo, breaking free from this prejudice, nailed them down with a chic, hip image. She completed a kitschy look with slick black ribbon hairbands and added a touch of uniqueness with some hair strands sticking out at the front. For days you’d like to look a bit more special, why don’t you try adding some hair accessories to your braided hairstyle?
Apink’s Bomi
Braided pigtails hairstyle is a trademark of “Pippi Longstocking”, a world-famous children’s book. Apink’s Bomi’s freckles with this particular hairstyle seems to be an homage to Pippi’s style. She added a lively yet natural feel to her style with orange brown hair color and a wide bang. For a bubbly image, try out matching a wide bang with your braided pigtails!
Oh My Girl’s Jiho
Jiho of Oh My Girl shows a different type of braided pigtails compared to Jisoo and Bomi above. She completed a unique style by matching her braids with Bohemian fashion. What an outstanding choice to pair orange cheeks with black braids!
ITZY’s Chaeryeong
ITZY’s Chaeryeong tried a single side braid hairstyle in this photo. The point of this hairstyle is messy side hair strands that are sticking out naturally. When you are trying out single side braide hairstyle for your everyday look, we recommend you to let down some hairs at the front and side to cover your face naturally.
Blackpink’s Rose
Our last hairstyle to show you is this ash pink single side braid. Looking at this photo, we can find out that braids look better the brighter the hair color is, because you can see the texture of the hairstyle much more clearly. With her side hairs sticking out asymmetrically, she’s able to look a step more chic.
