The halo braid is a more casual type of braided hairstyle. I think it’s a great look by straddling the loose vs. pulled back style. It’s a good balance and works in more formal settings as well as for everyday wear.
We feature a stunning gallery of women with various types of halo braid examples so that you can see the different ways this braided hairstyle is worn.
