The good days ? Rarely have we waited for them so impatiently! So, between the sun which begins to point the tip of its nose and the temperatures which continue gradually to increase, it did not need more for us to put the course on these beauty trends that tend to punctuate the coming season !
No surprise, as every year, some past fashions are coming back to the fore. In 2021, it is the braid that turns all heads.

Sure Pinterest and Instagram this trend has already established itself as the one not to be missed this summer. Neither one nor two, celebrities too – like Gigi Hadid or Kendall Jenner – have taken it! As it started to settle in the bohemian style last year, almost a year later, this hairstyle makes a comeback with flying colors, but in a little stricter style this time.

If they most often frame the face in a minimalist way, the mini-braids are available according to the desires and the hair. They take us back to our childhood, brighten up our beauty and can be worn on long or shorter hair, curly or straight. Whether we prefer them classic or accessorized, mini braids are always very stylish.

The great advantage with this hairstyle is that it is particularly quick and easy to do. You don't have to be an expert in the field to adopt them, far from it!
To create the mini braids, just separate two strands, neither too thin nor too thick, on both sides of the face. Then braid them without tightening too much, but making sure that the result is not loose either. Finally, you can of course choose to secure each mini braid with a little elastic at the end, but the trend would be that you do without! To do this, use a comb to backcomb the ends of your braids so that they don't come undone. That's it !

If this hairstyle is most often done on untangled hair – with a straight line and in the middle – you can always decide to customize your mini braids as you want ! Slightly relaxed for a hippie style, pulled up in a ponytail to vary the pleasures, pulled back to open up the face … With mini-braids: there are many hairstyles possibilities. Now it's your turn!
