Cute Summer Braids

Each year in Secondlife the hair styles just get better and better, with old and new designers coming up with new designs and textures all the time.  Over the year there have been so many cute braided styles and with summer coming up I decided to make a post of my favorite sl braids, all perfect for wearing with those summer outfits.  Above is a newer style from Maitreya called Lara II with color change hairband and elastic band.  There is another version of Lara available (see previous post), which comes with an alternative fringe.

Next is an older style from Shag called Let Me Kiss You, being a blonde I love the blonde textures in Shag and I love this style.  The hair falls down the right shoulder in a long and very loose braid, which looks like loose knots in the hair.  It is a great messy braid style perfect for your days at the beach.

Above is Jennifer 2, which came out last year at fri.day.  Jennifer is available in two different versions and is a very plain but cute style, great for when you want a simple look and perfect for adding flowers or accessories to without the hair sticking out. 

Next is a fabulous style from Magika called Sofia, I absolutely love this hair.  Sophia comes with two prim parts, the first part consists of long wavy and flowing hair that falls just below the shoulders and the lower part is the actual braid, which falls to the waist.  So with Sophia you get two styles for the price of one and as with most Magika hairs it comes with a mirrored version.

Above is Cecilia from Truth, designed with the hair loosely tied into a long braid on the right side and tied at the bottom with a little color change tie.  Cecilia comes with a streaked version of each color where a few of the strands of hair at the front can be changed to a variety of colors by clicking the hair, its great for adding a touch of color to match your swimsuits or beachwear.

I only came across Raw House very recently and really love it, some of the styles are more alternative and great for when you want something a little different from the norm.  Above is Emily in light blonde, designed with the hair falling down the left shoulder into a braid tied at the bottom with a little band.  Emily is scripted to easily change size and the script can be deleted to reduce lag.

 

Last but most definitely not least is one of my favorite ever secondlife hairs, Ann in pearl from WILDO.  I first found this style last year and wore it every time I went to the beach, I really love the way the braids look a little messy with strands of hair sticking out, giving a look like you have just walked out of the sea. 

I am sure there will be many more cute and summery styles coming along soon, especially with the Hair Fair 2011 just around the corner, and if you are looking for something to do while you wait for this years fair why not enter the Official Hair Fair 2011 competition.  Check it out here, you still have until 19 June 2011 to enter.
