Hair Trend: Are Braids the New Headband?

Many of the fashion shows during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week included models sporting braids across their foreheads similar to a sweat band or flower child look. Almost every one of Charlotte Ronson's models wore their hair in this uncomfortable and unflattering way. Fashion shows have a tendency to be overly dramatic so I was interested in how this style was going to trickle down to everyday wear.

The latest episode of The Hills gave me the answer I needed. Lauren Conrad, or L.C., donned her famous side swept bangs in a side braid that she pinned shut with a very subtle barrette. This look might not work on everyone, but I'm certain it is going to be the look for the summer and replace the headbands of last season.

Here's a great video from WhoWhatWearDaily.com on how to achieve this summer trend look.
