Put like that, it might sound scary, especially if you haven't done a braid in a long time. Still, we assure you: the vast majority of these braids can be done by beginners, although they look very complex in photos. The little tutorials that we are going to give you will show you how easy these hairstyles are to reproduce.

If you want to recreate these hairstyles at home, on your beautiful gray hair, you will need to know how to do the most basic braids, such as Dutch braid, French braid, cascade braid … here are some awesome braid ideas for gray hair to try now!

The double braid
The easiest way to make your hairstyle more complex than it looks is to incorporate two different types of braids. For this particular side braid, the surfer used a side dutch braid along the nape of the neck and then switched to a fishtail braid for the lengths.

The 4 strand braid
If you're a pro at braiding your hair, take it up a notch and go from a 3-strand braid to a 4-strand braid. While it might sound intimidating on paper, it's relatively easy to achieve. And the end result is so chic that it's well worth a little frustration at first!

The messy fishtail braid
If you are the type of gray haired person who has a nice length, use it to your advantage by having fun with bold and elaborate hairstyles. It's easy to try on the messy fishtail braid that is slightly messy, as seen below.

The braid crown
If you don't want your hair to encroach on your face, a gray crown braid is the perfect solution. You can wear it for a night out, to go to workout in sports, to commute to work or to run errands. This hairstyle is suitable for all occasions.

The S-braid
Make your hair feel like a bun that was done in the salon by recreating this S-braid at home. This braid starts at the top at the back of your head and goes down to the nape of your neck. Once at the nape of the neck, it is wrapped in a classic braid, which is then tucked behind the ear.

The Dutch half ponytail
Another variation of a Dutch ponytail braid is to braid only half of the ponytail. Create a Dutch braid along your head, then secure the braid with an elastic at the nape of the neck. Leave the rest of the tail loose and spray on with texturizing spray. The end result will be elegant, trendy and bohemian at the same time.

Micro braids with the ends undone
If you are looking to do something a little different with your hairstyle, then why not try micro braids with undone ends? They are especially beautiful when they are also tied in a low ponytail.

The waterfall braid
Cascading braids are great because they work on all lengths of hair, including the bob. We love the cascade braid for its bohemian style and for all that very worked.
