Banded Braid Hairstyle

A stretchy black headband gives this style its flattering shape. Case in point: This romantic look. Slip the headband on first, then weave your hair into a loose French braid, securing the ends with an elastic. Then tuck the ends of the braid into the back of the headband. If you find short layers sticking out or the sides look baggy, you can use a couple bobby pins to tighten things up.
