Before you give up after you’ve gushed ‘beautiful’ to the braided hairstyle from Cute Girls Hairstyles above, please remember that nothing good comes easy. Here we go:
1/ Create two sections; section 1 should be at the crown of your head. Gather a circular section of hair on top into a ponytail leaving the surrounding hair (front, back and sides) loose. The latter would be section 2.
Tip: use thin elastic. Thick elastic will elongate your crown in a very unusual way.
2/ Do a deep side part at the front then arrange the ponytailed crown in a circular pattern neatly. Your hair should be covering your face and the rest of your head.
3/ Start the braid behind your left ear. Get hair from section 2 and some from section 1 as you go around. Do this all around your head until you reach the ends of your hair. Secure it with elastic.
4/ Tuck and pin the loose braided part (tail) of your hair to the side neatly. Make sure that the tail will blend well into the main area for a clean continuous style.
5/ Now, give yourself a pat on the back for doing a job well done! Don’t forget to take selfies!

A Dutch braid is simply a reversed version of the French braid. The braid will be on top of the hair instead of under it as in the case of the latter. The trick here is to always go under, not above.
1 & 2/ Start at the front by dividing hair into three sections.
3 & 4/ Start the braid by putting the left section under the middle, then the right section under the left section.
5 & 6/ Continue doing the Dutch braid, making sure that you tighten as you go.
7/ Tie the end with elastic.
8/ Pull out to loosen the braid and make it a little wider.
9/ Coil the tail and pin it to create a braided bun.
10/ Perfectly plaited coif!

If you can’t commit to a bobbed hairstyle like a true flapper, fake it! The Beauty Department did a great version of this Roaring Twenties’ ‘do starring Lauren Conrad.
1/Start with day-old hair for better texture.
2/ Create two sections crosswise. The upper half should be thicker than the lower part.
3/Now, part the lower half of your hair in the middle and French braid each.
4/Arrange the braided sections of your hair flat at the back and secure them with pins.
5/Curl small sections forward with a small barrel curling tong for tighter coils.
6/Clip the curls inwards using double prong metal clips. We suggest that you use these clips instead of bobby pins as the latter will create unnecessary dents to your hair.
7/Set the curls for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Let them cool down properly for better outcome.
8/Brush your hair gently downwards to shape the curls together.
9/For women with naturally thick hair, you can pin the other side at the back to tone down the bulk.
10/Using a fine toothed comb, tease the ends of your hair upward to create texture for the bob.
11/Pin the backcombed sections inwards and set the style with a hairspray with good hold.
12/For added romance, don an embellished headdress!

1/ Choose a part that will suit you best before sectioning your hair into three. Do a ponytail with the middle section.
2,3,4/ Create a sub section (lower) on the left main section (upper) of your hair. Braid the upper part of the left side first then wrap it around the base of the ponytail and pin it. Do the same on the right side.
5 & 6/ Braid the lower section of the left and right sides then wrap it around the base of the ponytail and secure them with pins.
7 & 8/ Braid the middle section (ponytail) and tuck it in towards your nape. Secure it with bobby pins.
