Hair Obsession: Loop Braids

The latest (and greatest!) hair trend!

As we gear up for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2, what better way to get excited than by channeling our inner Katniss Everdeen?! The character, played by Jennifer Lawrence, made braids trendy again when the first of the four-part film series hit theaters in 2012.

Since then, there have been SO many updates on the basic braid. The latest braid that’s become popular is called the “loop braid,” which basically makes your hair appear as if it has been tied into multiple knots. Sounds scary (we know!), but it’s totally not — it doesn’t leave your hair tangled.

Watch the video above to see a quick how-to vid. Plus, check out the pics below to see cute variations of the pretty ‘do by users on Instagram who’ve already attempted the look.
