Look Lusciously Crisscrossed in these 5 Easy Styles!

So what are the best braided hair styles that you should go for? Take a look at these five fun and great-looking crisscrossed styles that you can use to update your look, no matter what your mood, outfit or what the occasion is!

1. As a headband - If you're going for a day about town, one of the most casual hair styles that you can go for is wearing your braids as a headband. Depending on the color of your hair, you can add actual matching headbands - which are so fashionable these days - or you can wear the braids sans the hair accessory. All you need to do is have a stylist or even a close girl friend create big braids on the front of your hair - leaving the back of the head loose. This is a great style for women whose hair length reaches well past their shoulders.
2. Braided Chignons - If you are attending a more formal occasion, you can add a sophisticated yet fun twist to the classic chignon. For this style, the hair will be parted mid-way, the front part of the hair will be braided and both ends will meet at the back of the head to end up with a chignon. It's easy, classic, fun and sexy.
3. The classic loose braid for long hair - Don't have the time to style your hair in a complicated twist? The easy solution would be to style your long hair in a loose braid.
4. Micro braids for natural black hair - If you have natural black hair, you can wear them in micro braids which are woven intricately using just a few strands of hair.
5. Updo braids - For this, you can use a combination of loose and micro braids to your hair. Then, place them all into a traditional updo to add depth and texture to your hair style.
