Moving away from the hipster trend of the man bun, but rather embracing the style that everyone has been talking about, this article is dedicated to the rise of Man Braids. And lets face it, this could not be more perfect for keeping cool in summer.

The great news is, this trend is not just reserved for those with long hair. For those who have shorter hair, braids with short sides is a great way to embrace this trend. Other styles we particularly like are braided high pony tails or a top not and braids with zig zags.

The best thing about this trend is that it can be totally creative and thats exactly what our hair should be an expression of. If you create a braided style this summer, tag @alchemyoils #manbraid so we can share your style.
