Is a braid for you :

• Depending on your face shape choose a type of braid that will flatter you. For example a smaller face would look fabulous in a french braid, but for a larger more wider face shape opt for loose, messy braids framing your face.
• Braids with mathapattis look super gorgeous and so unique and can suit almost anyone as the matha patti hides the hairline.
• If you have thin hair then ask for hair extensions from your salon . They are available easily and can fake a gorgeous thick braid
• Worried about how a dupatta would sit on a braid? Don't be- with a bit of back combing everything is possible.
