This school-time hairstyle is trending

If you were a fan of two pigtails and braiding was your go-to school style – the latest spring-summer hairstyles is good news for you. Come summer, and put-up styles become all the rage. But now, the two braids are breaking the age barrier to become cool for adult women too.
We all have some tried-and-tested hairstyles in our arsenal – a sleek pony, side braid or a bun.But hair fatigue can set in real quick; a reason why hairstylists are turning back the clock to bring back styles that have been doing right by you since you were a kid. What you need are adult-approved school-age pigtails.
The key is to bring in subtle twists: messier braids, adapting styles like French and Dutch braids into this style, using accessories smartly and make it seem zero effort. Instagram is full of braiding options that can make the twin style not seem twee. Another trick that works is to start the braid from the forehead and leave it open at the neck in a half-braid pony. For instance, boxer braids look edgy. While style bibles are full of rules on how adults shouldn’t wear braids, let that not stop you. Try a style that fits your aesthetic – it’s a great weekend look.
