Hairstyles define your identity, look and mood for the day. If you are having a particularly bad day, you will either pick a hairstyle which is messy or extremely pulled back.
A good day sees a confident (maybe even experimental) hairstyle, like the bouffant or a carefree, bouncy beach waves.
Believe it or not, but tree braids are equally versatile. Especially for those struggling to deal with thick, voluminous hair, tree braids are a great way to embrace, flaunt and handle them.
Once you have braided your hair, you could wear it up as a bun, go for a folded bob, leave it out to fly with the wind, or tie it up in a simple ponytail.

Top Tree Braids Hairstyles
Tree Braid Bob Hairstyle
Tree braid bob hairstyle is great for round and oval faces. You keep the hair length at around jaw level with the tree braids just at the roots of your hair.
You can keep it curly or straighten it out, whatever you prefer. Even when it comes to the parting you can have a straight parting or side parting.
Curly Updo With Tree Braid
This is a great hairstyle especially if you love updos or are wearing some heavy accessories that you’d like to show off.
Starting with tree braids at the roots on the sides, it’s braided along the sides to the back of the head and the rest of the hair is pinned up to look like a mohawk.
Bouffant with Side Tree Braids
Bouffant with side tree braids is an amazing hairstyle for grand functions like weddings and receptions. It gives you a super classy look.
And the hairstyle itself looks so creative. You start your tree braids at the sides and take them to the back. In the front you do a puffy bouffant and the braids and bouffant meet in the middle at the back of your head. Fasten that.
And then you can leave the rest of your hair down. This gives a lot of texture to your hair and overall really elevates your look.
Centre Partitioned Wavy or Straight Hair
The tree braids here are partitioned down the middle, is this 1970s-inspired hairstyle.
The braids start at the top and then the waves are allowed to take over. They effortlessly flow and fall softly onto the shoulders, carefree and gorgeous at the same time.
If you have a few dyed streaks as well, then this is the perfect retro hairdo for you!
This hairstyle looks particularly good on those of you who have a combination of blonde-dirty blonde-dark blonde highlights.
Or merely a few brown or auburn streaks that give a whole new personality to this hairstyle. Remember that the real game changer here, is the centre partition as it gives a clean elegant look.
Diagonal Front Braids
Create your own little room for creativity when it comes to your hair, by adding a few inches of diagonal braids at the front. You can create your own lovely pattern (criss crosses, straight lines, disorganised designs).
While hairstyles seem restrictive at first, the best ones are those that reflect your persona. So do not hesitate to try out a few patterns before zero-ing in on ‘the one’ for you.
You could even add a headband or scarf – with floral, polka dot, or a solid monochrome pattern – to make the braid section stand out as compared to the rest of your voluminous curls. Headbands and scarves look great on a pleasant summer day.
Dutch Tree Braids With Cornrows
This is a cute way to wear tree braids and it’s pretty great for long hair. If you want a braided hairstyle that will help keep your hair away from your face then this is a good one.
Also, this hairstyle is good for protecting natural hair and helping with growth by reducing breakage.
Protective Hairstyles with Tree Braids
Long Straight Hair with Tree Braids
Simple, classic and elegant. Wear your hair long and straight, and have the braids fall seamlessly off the top.
The braids are combed back, and there is no partition either. This means your hair is away from your face, letting your features stand out.
This also means that you can pick out a nice chunky choker or earrings that stand out beautifully and complete your look. And much like the previous hairstyle, you have room to accessorise this style with scarves and headbands.
Black Tree Braids With Caramel Highlights
Individual Tree Braids With Highlights
If you are looking for a drastic makeover, dying a few strands of your hair in darker shades of red and brown can really elevate your game.
On days when you feel like you want a complete makeover, getting quick temporary dye of the reds or browns, or hair extensions in the same colour, could be very refreshing.
Even a simple half-ponytail or a top knot looks much more glamorous with feather specks of colour. Light waves are an interesting texture to experiment with, especially if you don’t have very long hair.
Medium Length Curly Tree Braids
Long Wavy Tree Braids
For those with extremely long hair, style it in a combination of loose and tight spirals. This gives an exceedingly organised, sculpted look.
Again, if you have brown or auburn highlights, it brings out a nice gradient of the darker black base that fades to the brown. A side partition to this hairstyle can do wonders too.
Side Swept Curls
More emphasis on the positioning and partitioning of hair in this one. If you have shoulder-length hair or shorter, sweep your hair to the side, with braids that start at the scalp, and gradually let your curls or waves take over.
Especially if you have more than a handful of piercings, with hair that falls just above your shoulder, the side swept
