I have been into playing around with braids lately. They are effortless and look good messy. My recent favorite is the dutch braid, shown above. It's so easy and makes the braid pop out more than a typical french braid.
I also experimented with milkmaid braids and I think they turned out quite well. The key is day old hair (not a fan) and rubbery bobby pins which I actually need in my possession.
