This fun style has a bit of a bohemian vibe, with its laid back look and messy sophistication. Simply gather hair into pigtails and loop into messy twists.

Iggy Azalea Braids

These eye-catching pigtails were inspired by singer Iggy Azalea’s famous look. They are actually reverse French braids, but they look extra awesome because the model’s hair is so long

This playful style has a bit of a cartoon appeal, and it’s easy to achieve too. Just divide your hair in half and twist each half into a high chignon. Leave the tails loose for a more relaxed look

French Braid Pigtails

This pretty look was found over on Instagram, and it is an easy one! If you know how to French braid, then you know how to do this. Create braid pigtails, but stop at your neck and leave the rest of your hair in two loose ponytails.

Ribbon Pigtails

This colorful pigtail look is achieved by wrapping ribbon through each braid. This is a great way to add some pizzazz to your outfit or to show your team spirit.

These larger-than-life braids will be showstoppers, should you dare try them! These are actually reverse French braids as well, but the key here is to loosen each braid section afterward with your fingers

Fishtail Braids

Fishtail braids are a fun variation on the original, lending a fairy tale-like vibe to any look. And although they look difficult to achieve, they are really quite simple.
