11 Easy Crochet Braid Styles To Do Right Now

Look #1: Center Part

This easy style may be one of your standard looks when you’re wearing crochet braids. Keep it natural-looking by parting with your fingers and letting the big, loose curls be bouncy and free.

Look #2: Two Ponytails

Finger part down the center and gather hair into two large, loose ponytails. Keep them high and slightly forward for a playful look.

Look #3: Bandanna Updo

Use a large elastic to gather hair into a large, loose ponytail. Fold a bandanna and tie for this neat, retro look.

Look #4: Pineapple

We love a good head wrap! Here, Kiitana took a large square scarf and tied it around her head while bending forward at the waist. Tuck the ends of the scarf away to finish the look. Want more detail on how to do this wrap? See our detailed tutorial here.

Look #5: Low Ponytail w/Side Swept Bangs

Use fingers to create a deep part over the arch of your eyebrow and sweep hair across for side swept bangs. Gather hair in a large, loose ponytail or bun at the nape of the neck.

Look #6: Space Buns

Gather hair in elastics and wrap hair around the base of these buns to conceal the ponytail holder. Tuck the ends and you’re set!

Look #7: Classic Side Part

This one is another simple variation on standard crochet braid styles. Try parting at different points for a softer or a more dramatic look.

Look #8: Tucked Under Bangs

This is the most ’80s retro of the crochet braid styles here: Bring your hair forward from the crown and gently roll and tuck hair to make rolled bangs. Pin discreetly to hold.

Look #9: Top Knot

Gather hair into a loose top knot at the top of your head. Tuck the ends and fluff. Pin to secure.

Look #10: Half-Up/Half-Down

This is like the top knot in #9, but the hair is left in a loose ponytail.

Bonus Look: Tapered Fro

Taking your crochet braids down? Why not get one last look out of them before you do? You can cut the locks short and into a cute curly tapered style. This one isn’t tapered, but you get the idea!
