Our Guide To Braids: 12 Celebrity Inspired Hairstyles To Try For Fall

The Faux Shaved Side Braid

So you want to look edgy, but you don't want to go as risky as Cassie and shave the side of your head off? We totally get it. To still get the look without all the hair loss, try the faux shaved side braid like Cara Delevingne. Start with a dramatic side part with about 3/4 of your hair left to the side you want down. Then braid the remaining side downwards, placing the pieces under each other as you go. As you are braiding, keep grabbing more hair from under the braid to get that tight, pulled-back look.
