A cool look to try out with a braided headband is getting one that matches your hair color. It may even fool people into thinking it's part of your real hair. Of course, it also looks cool if the headband doesn't match your hair, so don't be afraid to try this style out either. If you're going to an event where you need to be dressed up, you can wear a braided headband with your hair up in a bun. For a more casual day, simply wear your hair down with the headband. I would suggest avoiding any braided hairstyle. You want the headband to stand out as much as possible.

For a casual summer look, pair a braided bracelet with a screen tee, a pair of shorts, and some flip flops. For a more dressy Summer look, wear a braided necklace with a sundress and a pair of wedge espadrilles. To make your own braided bracelet, get three strands of yarn (or a similar material) that are approximately 6 inches long, tie the strands together in a knot on one end, and start braiding. When you are finished braiding, tie a knot on the other end. Then tie both ends together to fasten the bracelet. If you've ever made a friendship bracelet at summer camp, this may sound familiar to you. Use the same technique for making a braided necklace. The only difference is you'll want the strands of yarn to be longer. I'd say 15 inches is a pretty good length. (WARNING: Please do not attempt to tie the necklace while it is around your own or someone else's neck. This is a choking hazard.)

I love braided items!
Especially liking the headbands! I have one in yellow from Forever 21.
I'm glad you like the items I posted. I like the headbands too. The yellow one you have sounds cool. I want to get a braided headband that's the same color as my hair (brown).
