2 Easy Braids To Try This Weekend

Believe it or not, for many Coachella is just getting started (lest you forget there is second weekend that also sells out). If you’re in search of a creative ‘do for round two or are just all about hairstyles that don’t require products or hot tools, we have two braids that are well worth trying. Featuring festival-ready accessories from scünci, these creative plaits are sure to last from morning until night—no matter how much dancing (or weekend lounging) is on your agenda.
