Want to switch up your look and have some fun with your hairstyle? Use braids.

Braids can can act like an accessory in your hair without actually using an accessory. They keep hair up off your face without resorting to a ponytail. And there are so many ways you can style braids, all according to your Type of beauty.

We want to show you a quick braided accent that you can add to any hairstyle, no matter your Beauty Type. This is an especially fun way to do second- and third-day hair.

Watch the video to see exactly how Sarah does it.

I hope you'll try this soon. Leave a comment and share another braid idea with us.

And remember our tips to customize braids to your Type of beauty:

  • Type 1: Just follow Sarah's lead to create a bright, animated braid. Or add even more fun with asymmetrical braids—two braids of different widths on the same side.
  • Type 2: Your braids look best when blended in with the rest of your hair. Create a softened braid by not pulling hair tight as you go, or by loosening hair with your fingers once the braid is finished.
  • Type 3: Take your cue from Sarah for a rich, dynamic braid. Make sure you do this braid style right from the hairline so it's featured and creates texture. Move in an angle to make it edgy.
  • Type 4: Your bold, striking beauty will look great with clean braids that create parallel lines. Follow other parallels in your features or create two symmetrical braids, side by side.

We love sharing fun hairstyle tips with you and seeing what you do with them! If you try out your version of Sarah's braid, snap a picture and post it on the Dressing Your Truth facebook wall.
