From a glamorous party (like the pre-Oscar soiree Elsa Pataky attended) to an early-morning jog (like the one Jessica Alba did for Revlon’s Run/Walk for Women), Latina stars have been sporting braids to all kinds of summer events. Want to know how to recreate each look? Just follow these simple steps!
Make a center part (or slightly off-center, like Zoe’s), then divide your hair in half and bring each half in front of each shoulder.
Braid both halves in tight, clean braids (so you’ll have low pigtail braids); secure elastics as close to the ends as you can.
Pull one of the braids up over the ear and across the top of your head like a headband. Pin the end of the tail behind your other ear with a bobby pin.
Now pull the other braid across your head, directly on top of the first braid. Stick the tail underneath the braid, holding it in place with a pin.
Mist with hairspray so it stays in place.
*If your hair is shorter than shoulder-length—or you want an even faster, easier way to get this look—try a pre-made clip-on braid like HairDo Braid Band, $17.50, qvc.com.
