7 pull-through braided hairstyles that you should try

Whether you have short hair or you just don't want to spend the time working intricate braids, having a fun alternative is a great way to keep your hair routine from going stale. This fun look is a safe option for people who are new to braiding too.
If you love the way this pull-through braid looks, check out a few of these ideas:
1. Faux-braid pull through
Creating a braid with a short hairstyle is easy with this simple tutorial. The look is fun and elegant, just be forewarned, your arms are going to burn after a few minutes of clipping and pulling.

2. Upside down braid
This braid has a similar look to the first on our list, but upside down. This wavy braid works well on longer hair. This is a good style for layered hair too because it will all be swept up into the braid and stay in place.
3. Pull through mix (h/t Beauty Driver)
Moving from thin plaits into a fatter pull-through is a pretty way to dress up your work-week hair. Since you're only weaving a small portion of your hair, you can quickly toss this look into your morning routine.
4.Pull-through bun (h/t All Up in Tangles)
I love that this look is effortless. Pull through a few sections and braid the rest into a twisty bun. The style is professional, clean and cute. It's a perfect option for hot summer days when you want to look great, but you need your hair off of your neck and face.
5. Pull-through and wave (h/t Hair by Lauren Knowles)
Try this dressed-up version of the pull-through braid. Work with smaller sections of hair and use a curling iron to add wave to the undone sections of your hair.
6. Double pull through (h/t Stacie Odwell)
Pigtails are always a win. Now your pig-tail braids just got a bit easier. Try separating parting your hair in half and working the pull-through down both sides of your head for a charming look. ​
7. Fancy pull through braid (h/t Liz Colors)
When you have a little more time try this fun braided style. The look is perfect for a bohemian style. Keep your makeup low key and let your pretty hair do the talking!
