When it comes to bridal hair, it's all about braids ♡

A braided updo that looks stylish and glamorous is a classic hair arrangement for brides at weddings, right? ♩

There are many kinds of braids!

However, honestly, there are so many types of braids that it can be confusing just to look at them. Three-strand braids, two-strand braids, fishtail braids, and reverse braids...

While they are familiar, they are also quite deep; here are some braided updo styles for brides categorized by the method of braiding.＊

Braiding method 1: Three-strand braid

The three-strand braid is the most familiar and a classic method of self-hair arrangement. It creates a neat and elegant impression ♡

By combining a "twist" and a loose three-strand braid, you can create a cute and fluffy braided updo ♩

Braiding method 2: Fishtail braid

What is generally called "braid" in common terms is this fishtail braid hair arrangement ♡ It is characterized by being difficult to unravel and easy to arrange ♩

The moderately loose side braid adds a trendy and cute touch. Hiding the knots with hair is also a key point!

Braiding method 3: Fishtail

When it comes to intricate-looking braids, it's the fishtail ♩ As the name suggests, it features a delicate braided pattern resembling a fishbone.

The fishtail braid flowing elegantly from the center to the side is unique and chic ♡ Combining it with other braid types could create a stunning look ♩

With the side styled in rope braids, you can achieve a beautifully voluminous half-updo. It keeps the face clear while being quite glamorous! ＊
