“Braids have been one of the most seen hairstyles in this type of event for several editions. It is already a classic in each of its versions, from the most discreet baby braidseven the well-known boxer braids like the one chosen by the influencer Anna Padilla to attend this event”, Jean Louis David reminds us. They are exactly the baby braids those who experience a real boom this summer 2022.
What does it consist of? Why do they sweep? “They usually go with casual looks and bring youth, freshness and even a certain glamour. The technique exists when separating a small strand of hair and making a mini braid that is combined with the rest of the loose hair. It’s a trend that became very popular in the 90s and is undoubtedly very much for this summer,” says Danilo Da Silva, Managing Director of StudioD (Carrer de Sants, 25. Barcelona). “They frame the face very well and are a great option to create a quick and easy hairstyle at home. Very versatile, they look great on all types of hair, short or long, straight, wavy or curly, loose or gathered. They can also be decorated with beads or colored threads and we have a different and original look in less than five minutes. The baby braids they are made from the birth area, in the middle of the forehead, so that they fall over the face, gather the hair in a ponytail and pull out the two front strands. We can make two traditional braids or two twisted or loose rope braids by dividing each of the strands in half, we twist them separately on themselves using a fixing gel and then twist them together until the end of the hair. Finally, we can add some colored elastic or beads, loosen the hair or leave it to create different looks using the same technique,” emphasizes María Somoza, stylist at Menta Beauty Place (Calle Príncipe de Vergara, 136. Madrid). In any case, the result is a success: “This type of hairstyle with mini braids has a key: it manages to refine the face by strengthening the cheekbones and it looks good in practically all shapes,” says To Be’s Conchi Fernández Aguilar Delgado.
