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.
