Celebrity Braids That Will Inspire You To Start Plaiting

Nothing looks classier than a braid. The twists and turns of the knots are eye-catching and are universally flattering. The pretty hairstyle also shows you put just a little bit (or a lot) of effort into your 'do.

In picking braids we loved, we thought it fitting to turn to the ladies who regularly influence our style choices (hello, Jessica Chastain!). Some of these plaits look almost impossible, but take a close look and you'll realize that there are only a few different kinds, and you can find tutorials for almost all of them online.

In the meantime, check out some amazing celebrity braids below. There are ideas for every kind of hair, from short and fine to thick and long.
