Braided Beauties

One of my favorite looks during the summer has to be braids.  Whether they're halo-like crowns encircling the head, or a simply fishtail off to the side, I can't think of a simpler way to get hair off your face without sacrificing style.  Unfortunately braids are not my forte, and I'm still trying to master the french braid and the fishtail.   Below are some looks that I'll be trying to duplicate.
