If you are going for a bohemian look, loosely-tied braids will certainly do the trick. You can even top it with a sparkly head band like Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is not less than beautiful with her loosened English braid. The rose-inspired Flower Hair Ring Band by Fashion Women ($2.50) will give you that attractive laid-back mien.
The French Braid
