These loopy chains, as seen on A Beautiful Mess, are just as easy to create as a braid, but the shape is more unexpected.

The braided milkmaid style seen on Naem Khan's runway works best with a center part and flushed lips.

Kaitlyn Dever's hairstyle takes a playful approach to the punk rock style with a messy reverse braid that runs from the nape of her neck to the top of her head. Note: You'll need a strong hold hairspray (we love Joico JoiMist Firm) and a lot of bobby pins to make this style last.

Voluminous bangs and a messy, textured fishtail give Alicia Key's side braid oomph. Get the look with a round brush (we like the Goody Blow Dry Protect Brush) and a volumizer like Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse.

Instead of keeping her faux hawk braid short, Selena Gomez takes it to the next level with the braid running down her back instead of tucked under.
