New Hairstyle Alert: Grecian Braids are Hot

So how do you dress up a chignon but still keep it simple? Easy?with some adorable braids! This new hairstyle has been popping up on celebrity heads such as Selma Hayak and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

The braids are a super easy way to update the classic chignon and add some interest to those pulled back sides. What I love about this new hairstyle is that it manages to make the chignon look either classier?if you make the braids super neat?or more casual if you let those braids stay a bit messy. The call is yours.

Sarah Michelle Gellar goes sexy at the premiere of The Air I Breathe.

This is a messier version of the new braided hairstyle. The braid is a French one which sits flush on the head and the back is pinned in gorgeous curls. I heart this hairstyle so much I can hardly breathe myself.
