French braid

About this style: The classic plait started at the crown and fed with new sections as it travels down the head. Everything is gathered into one line, which leaves the face clear and the whole look tidy.
Who it suits: Usually works on anything past shoulder length and stays appropriate for school or work, though short layers slip out midway.
Upkeep: Pulling from the same spot daily wears the hair, so shift the starting point a little each time.
