Vidya’s braid was a messy one, emerging from natural curls and enhanced by the grown-out bangs – also curly – which were arranged on both sides of her face from a center parting. It’s a very chic look, so it’s no wonder that this is one of her favourite go-tos.

- Part your hair in two – we’ll call one side A and the other side B to facilitate understanding for this tutorial.
- Take one small section from the outer side of side A and bring it to the center.
- Next, take a small section from the outer side of side B and bring it the center.
- Alternate between side A and side B, taking a section from the outside and bringing it to the middle, till you come to the end of your hair.
- Tie off with a transparent elastic.
See, that even sounds easy. Practice it a couple of times and you’ll be braiding like a pro.
