Audrina Patridge

Celebs are sporty a cool and easy summer do - long side braids. You can easily copy this style Audrina is wearing if you have very long hair, or you can wear it like Rebecca Romijn if you have medium length hair. Extensions can be added, or a clip on long pony tail can be worn if you have short hair that is long enough to be put in a pony tail – but don’t go overboard like our mystery celeb below!

Here’s how to copy the side braid:
The trick to copying this look is make it look undone and messy – loose pieces can fall out and the braid doesn’t have to be perfect (how easy is that!?).

Start with pulling you hair loosely to the side and begin braiding, leave about 2-3″ of hair at the end so that the braid doesn’t get too skinny.

Finish off with a clear or black hair elastic (try Sephora Snag-Free Hair Elastics, $3.50 for a set of 8). If you have some large chunks of hair falling out, you can secure them with a pin – but remember to keep it loose and cool!

It's Fergie!

Fergie’s braid is bad! Because it’s so thick, long and obviously fake it looks more like a costume than an accessory. Fire your stylist, Fergie!
