A snake braid sounds a lot more intimidating than it really is. It’s nothing but an alternative version of a regular braid that kind of looks like – wait for it – a snake. It’s very easy to create, and very flexible to incorporate into different kinds of hairstyles. Here are a few ideas of how to make it work for you on your wedding day.
1. HALF UP, HALF DOWN
A great way to frame some beachy, flowing waves.
2. CROWNING GLORY
Snake braids make for an interesting variation on crown braids.
3. WARRIOR QUEEN
Viking maidens were renowned for their complex braid styles, so if that’s the vibe you’re going for for your wedding, so be it!
4. SNAKE AND PONY
Add interest to a chic ponytail by including snake braids in the style.
5. TURN UP THE VOLUME
A snake braid or two can add texture and build up the volume and movement of your hair.
6. MIDWAY TRANSFORMATION
You could also consider starting off with a snake braid and then switching up your style at some point, such as with a fishtail.
7. JUST A DETAIL
Even if you’re planning to leave your hair down, you could always add one teeny tiny, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it snake braid, just for fun.
8. SOFT AND SWEET
