So if you're looking to try something new and pretty with your hair now is the time, it's getting closer to the festivities and braids are always a popular choice with their variety, there's the halo (perfect with a skater dress) the reverse french braid (ideal with a biker jacket and distressed jeans) the waterfall braid, slightly tougher but very effective! - see my easy to follow video for that. And also the fish tail braid, which many  seem to love!
