[W]ith tons of hairstyles to choose from, finding the perfect hairstyle that will help you stand out and last for a long time might seem like a big battle on its own.

  • 4. Pigtails
  • 5. Forward buns

While it might seem hard to find, the answer might just be right in front of you — Braids and Locs.

It’s the last month of the year and you might be wondering ‘how do I style braids and locs in a short period of time before the holidays?’ From up-dos to full drops, scarfs to letting loose, we’ve got the perfect one just for you.

Luckily, several glamstylas have slayed this hairstyle and have made it look easy so you can be inspired and so you can slay it effortlessly.

Shall we? Scroll further and get inspired!

1. Slay with a Scarf

With scarfs with plain design to patterned or multicolored, this accessory comes in handy complimenting your braids and locs hairstyle. How you “scarf” is also worth considering as you can tie it gracefully around your temples, or you can go regal in a turban.

2. Full Up-do

This style seem to be more common. But you can give yourself more sauce by bringing the loose ends of your hair to the side of your face. Yes! that’s it, easy-peasy.

3. Let loose

When it comes to braids and locs, the option of letting loose rarely comes to mind. However, letting your hair loose and allowing it to fall freely is another style on its own. You might also want to consider using beads or cowries.

4. Pigtails

Now, all the girly girls can come out to play. Although pigtails are girly and delicate, they are by no means inferior to the other styles on this list. These sassy styles are great as a pre-Christmas option for those days you’re running errands or catching drinks with your friends.

5. Forward buns

If the above pigtails are not your thing, you can take a wild spin on it by converting the pigtails into buns and then bringing them forward. This isn’t such a common locs and braids styling option, so you should get attention adn keep heads turning for all the right reasons.
