A lot of braided hairstyles start with middle parts. This look keeps the focus on the top of the head with the voluminous braids on the crown — not to mention, the adorable scrunchie. Note the way hair has been teased slightly to give braids more height.

Double up on Accessories
Double up on the barrette and middle part trends by framing a center part with blinging hair clips placed right above the ears. It's flattering and just the right amount of retro (and best finished with coordinating earrings).

Pretty Pigtails
Give your scalp a break from boxer braids and try low braided pigtails paired with a crisp center part. The beauty is in the details, with part of the hair covering the ears and the braids starting right behind the ears.

Retro Remixed
The center part is a mere starting point to the windswept vintage hairstyle, but it helps to balance the baby hairs and black bows. Make it as messy and voluminous as you desire.

Top Twist
Fall in love with the top knot again by parting your hair down the very center and spinning the lengths into a gravity-defying loop. Bumps go with the territory, but they're OK (encouraged, even).
