Two braids sounds simple, and it is, but simple doesn’t mean plain. The right styling details turn two braids into a look that feels finished and intentional.
These are the twelve versions I love styling most.
Classic Double Dutch Braids
Two clean Dutch braids running back from the hairline are a timeless look that works for nearly any occasion.
Two Braids Into Low Buns
Twisting each braid into its own low bun gives the style a polished, symmetrical finish perfect for the office.
Two Braids With a Deep Side Part
A deep side part gives the two-braid style visual interest and asymmetry without adding any complexity.
Two French Braids
French braiding technique adds texture and dimension that a simple three-strand braid doesn’t have.
Two Braids With Wrapped Ends
Wrapping the ends in thread or fabric adds a finished detail that keeps the ends from looking unfinished or frayed.
Two Braids for a Sleek Finish
Smoothing the roots with gel before braiding gives the whole look a sleek, laid finish that reads polished immediately.
