Easy hairstyles, braids, short hair; not exactly words you would associate together, but once you've seen our gallery, above, you might just have a change of heart.
13 (actually doable) easy braided hairstyles for short hair
1. Half-up, half-down double Dutch braids
Boxer braids are a summer staple, but if your hair is too short (or you've got layers), it's not always so easy. If you've been struggling, you'll find you can get the same effect (and not have to worry about it falling out!) by tweaking it into a half-up version like this one instead. Problem solved!Credit: @hannahh_b00o
Editor's tip: You may not know this, but braids are actually great on day-old, unwashed hair. Just spray theTONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray to give your hair a little more grip and add more texture.
2. Accent braid ponytail
When it comes to easy braids for short hair, accent braids are a good one to have up your sleeve on days you're feeling uninspired. Whether you're wearing your hair up or down, adding in a quick micro braid detail is sure to add a stylish edge.Credit: @alex_haircraft
3. Headband braid
Rocking a long pixie or bob and looking for an easy braid? Short hair works really well with headband braids and you can rock them with or without a fringe.Credit: @chloenbrown
4. French pigtail braids
They look great, obviously, but did you know that French braids are also pretty much life-proof? The tighter you do it, the more durable it'll be (great for the gym), but for a more casual finish, you can do it a bit looser.Credit: @melangesalon

If you get frustrated when braids don't go your way, the pull-through braid might be a mane-changer for you. They basically give you the look of a braid, but with no actual plaiting required – the dream, right?!Credit: @beckahere
