1/20
As natural as it gets
You can use a texturising spray to create a beachy look like this. Sweep your hair over one shoulder for a cheeky air of sophistication-meets-nonchalance.
2/20
Simple braids
Best suited for long hair, this is a delicate and aesthetically pleasing look. Use bobby pins to keep the thin braids in place.
3/20
Messy crown
Several layers of loose braids sitting atop your crown is a perfect way to embrace the casualness of the spring season.
4/20
Golden crown
Even if you don't have hair like Goldilocks, sweeping your hair up into a braided crown will increase your chic factor tenfold.
5/20
Fun bob
Asian hair is perfectly suited for a short bob, so if you haven't tried this bouncy style yet, give it a go this spring.
6/20
Low side braid
Low ponytails are boring, but do it up with a little flair - think messy braids with flyaways - and you've got yourself something cute!
7/20
Keep it sharp
For ladies with thinner hair, a severe tied-back look accompanied by strands of tight and thin braids can look extremely impressive.
8/20
Chunky crown
For those who love the braided crown look, but have hair with very little volume, make your braids chunkier.
9/20
Flat crown
Flat braids look good too, when wrapped around like a tiara!
10/20
The queenly look
This style will make you look like royalty.
11/20
Sleek waves
Simple, yet ultimately chic. This shiny look can be achieved if you've got sleek hair, so stock up on salon-quality hair conditioners!
12/20
Messy bird’s nest
Even the bird's nest look can look beautiful with the right level of carefully-styled messiness!
13/20
Tousled
Perfect for any occasion, the loose waves in this tousled look is casual enough for a shopping date, yet put-together enough for the office.
14/20
Mix it up
For a more unique look guaranteed to turn heads, try a few combined styles!
15/20
Little flowers
Take your spring style to the next level. Flowers look good in anyone's hair, especially when you're doing a fun little photoshoot with your gal pals. Get decorating!
16/20
Chunky crown
The longer your hair, the thicker you can make your braids. This simple crown is perfectly worn without a hair out of place.
17/20
Ribbons, ribbons
For a sweet look, try some minimalist accessories like ribbons that contrast with your hair colour that you can weave through your hair.
18/20
Fish tail
The side fish tail braid will never go out of style.
19/20
Go crazy with the braids
For hot weather, this is something you could try to beat the heat!
20/20
Simple and clean
This style looks natural and elegant - perfect for a date night (or even at your wedding).
