But never fear—these five braid tutorials are not only crazy easy (yes, even for you hair newbs), but ridiculously pretty, meaning the only thing testing your patience today will be social media.

3 The Double-Dutch Braid
Split your hair down the middle in either a center part or side part, then divide the two-inch section of hair near your hairline into three pieces. As you braid, cross the pieces of hair under, rather than over—the opposite of what you'd do with a French braid—to create that popped-out effect. Continue on the other side, then secure the bottoms of each braid with clear elastics.
4 The Boho-Braided Updo
Okay, this one sounds intense, but we promise it's surprisingly easy. Just braid your hair into four braids across the back of your head, then take each braid and twist and pin it to the nape of your neck,
until you create a thick braided bun.

5 The Snake Braid
If you can do a basic three-strand braid, you can do a snake braid. Section off a two-inch piece of hair near your hairline, braid it to the ends, then grip the middle strand of the braid with your left hand, and the remaining two pieces with your right then. Then, slide your right hand up the braid to create a zig-zag shape, and pin it in place.
