1. Floral Fishtail Braid

Turn your basic half-up half-down ponytail boho using accessories. Flowers, butterflies, feathers or other natural elements work great. Add some braids wherever you like and you’re done!

Where a classic chignon would be neat and carefully arranged, this boho low bun is intentionally imperfect. Side twist detail and delicate flowers make it look soft and romantic.
4. Goddess Braids

If might be difficult to DIY a style as elaborate as this, but with some practice it’s definitely possible. Until then, pop to the salon with this pic and enjoy your new look.
6. Floral Braided Crown
A fluffy pull-through crown braid is a great boho option for shorter hair. Make sure the loose hair is wavy or has lots of texture to complete the lived-in look.
7. Loose Boho Beach Waves
Beachy waves are the starting point for many boho looks. Loosely pin them or add braids and accessories to create various styles or simply wear them as they are.

A flat braid won’t do if you’re after a boho style—pancake it until it’s thick and fluffy. Gently pull apart the strands to make them appear thicker and more voluminous.
