Side Dutch Braid: The side dutch braid works really well in medium to long hair. Part your hair on the side (your preference of sides). Take a small section of hair starting from the area of the parting and divide it into three. Start braiding it sideways and then keep adding small strands of hair to the braid as you make your way downwards. Once you've added all your hair to the braid, finish off with a regular three-strand plait. Secure at the end with a small elastic band.

Part your hair in the middle. Then choose a side to begin with and clip the other side in place. Start by picking out three thin strands from your hairline. Then start braiding them and make sure they point back and not down towards the floor. Remember to cross the strands under the middle strand and not over it as this will help add some volume. Keep doing this until you reach the nape of your neck. Once done, finish off with a regular braid.

This one is pretty easy to do. All you have to do is part your hair in the middle and start braiding backward as you would do with boxer braids. Then when you reach the top of your head, just use a rubber band to secure all your hair in place. You could even opt for a low ponytail with this one. Continue braiding your hair until you reach the nape of your neck and then secure into a low ponytail.

Comb your hair throughout to ensure there are no tangles. Start at the top of your hair by taking two strands from the middle. Divide them into 4 thin strands. Start by taking one half from one strand and placing it over the other. Then take one half from the other strand and place it over this one. Continue doing this and add strands from your hair along the way. Once you reach the nape, continue with a regular fishtail braid.

Part your hair on the side. Then pick one side to start with. Take two thin strands from that side and then twist them tightly in opposite directions. Once done, wind them together and secure them at the back of your head. Repeat this process with the other side of your parting. And voila! You'll have some pretty looking side rope braids.

This one is super easy to do. Part your hair in two sections from the side. Then take three strands of hair from the middle of the side that has the larger parting. Start making a thin braid facing down. Once you reach all the way down secure it with a thin rubber band. Trust us, this hairstyle looks uber chic and it's so simple to create!

This is yet another easy hairstyle to create. Take all your hair to one side. Start at the bottom of your neck. Divide your hair into two sections, then take a thin strand from one section and place it over the other section. Take a strand from the other section and place it over the first section. Continue this until you reach the end and then secure with a band.
