8 tremendously beautiful lace braid hairstyles that you must try

Not all braids are created equal, and the lace braid has a few benefits over some others. One: It can be a little simpler because you only pull hair from one side, and two: it's a softer look, so it's a fun, easy option to try when you want to look charming, but you don't have a lot of time.
Check out one of these sweet braid styles to add to your weekly hair-do rotation.
1. Holiday lace braid
This braid a pretty style that looks great when you are wearing your hair big and curly. I love that it drapes gently across and down. You can get the big braid look, by tugging gently at the braid to make it look wider.

2. Beginner lace braid
This simple style is perfect if you want a braid that's a no-muss option for a busy day, or if you're just trying a lace braid for the first time. By only taking hair from the top part of the braid, you'll get a lace effect traveling down the head.
3. Lace braided updo
If you want to give your fancy updo a little extra texture, try adding a lace braid. The twist adds depth, and it looks elegant and sweet. The looser style is trendy right now too (which means you don't have to worry about every piece being perfect!)
4. Chic shoelace braid
This fresh style is a bit edgy because the braid changes from shoelace to fishtail about halfway through. It's a neat look that's super textured and likely to stay in place for a while.
6. Lace braid maidenhair (h/t More)
When you want to keep your hair out of your face and off your neck, but you're up for putting in a little more effort than a top knot requires, try this cute twist on the lace braid.
7. Floral lace braid
I'm a little in love with this style because it looks so full at the bottom. It reminds me of a queenly hairstyle from a film about old-timey England. You can change up the look by adding different flowers to the top. How cute is this braid?
8. Curved lace braid (h/t Hair Romance)
This is a fun braid that plays on angles. The curved twist is super elegant so you can wear this hairstyle to the office or out on a date (Nicole Kidman wore it to a film festival) so it's an excellent option for your hairstyle tool bag.
