Halo braids are one of the most simple, yet elegant hairstyles around, and because no Black beautician does anything the basic way, this updo has gotten a major makeover recently.

While we’ll always appreciate the classic look of two braids wrapped around one’s crown, we love the updates ladies have given the simplistic ‘do to make their halo braids stand out from the rest. Here are four ideas for putting a twist on your halo braids this summer.

Jewels

Add a little adornment to your halo braids via beads, coils, and sleeves which are an easy way to take your look from everyday to elegant. You can even add a headband on the inside of your braids if you want to switch up the style more easily.

Color

You don’t have to dye your own hair, have your stylist weave different color strands of weave into your halo braid for an eye-catching two-tone effect.

Smaller braids

Instead of just wrapping two large braids around a smooth head of hair, get even more intricate and detailed with numerous small braids leading to your large crown braids.
