I've done some braid-spotting and by the looks of it, this hairstyle is sticking around for summer! Maybe these young entertainers parallel their lifestyles to the complex and tangled webs they are weaving in their hair. (Or maybe I'm overthinking this a bit.) But since Jessica, Mandy and Lindsay are sporting them, it looks like this trend is here to stay. I thought I'd remind you of my post on how to create your own summertime braids at home.

ive always seen summer braids on straight or wavy hair, i wonder if theres anything to suit curly hair??
1I love Lindsays braid here (I think it's her anyway.) It's so cute and casual without looking like a total mess. I also like Mandy's but I'm not a big fan of Jessica's for some reason.
2I think that it's an adorable look, I'm just too scared to do it myself. I don't think that my hair is thick enough to handle it.
3I like the look.I think it's cute.
4I love that look!
5I tried it out once.. but I think I need more practice on doing the braids, though.
Love the braids.
6i love it on jess and lilo. it goes with the boho chic look for summer
7I love braids! I think Mandys is the best.
8I like Lindsay's braid. OMG I just said something nice about lindsay. AHHHHHHHH!!
9nothing beats a good braid. i love the one on the right
10LOVE em!
11Cute
12Theyre very cute however I don't know if I can't pull that look off
13Yeah no thanks, I'll pass on this trend.
14i love braids, too bad it's much harder to do it on my curly hair. I also worry that it might make me look to young but mandy's braids seem to be a good alternative.
15i like this trend, very cute and sexy
16Does anyone actually know how to do that? If I tried to do it by myself without any direction it'd probably be all lopsided and weird. But I like it a lot!
17I was pretty good at braiding my hair for a while. I had a head full of perfect casual braids earlier this spring, but it's like I'm braid-cursed now
18i do that to my hair (:
19I'm liking the braid thing! Very cute and casual.
20I agree with Sarah, i don't think my hair is think enough to pull off a braid(s).
21thick*
22I like the look of the braids but I always feel like a little kid when I do stuff like that my hair...
23i love the braid on the side of the head. my friend did it on me, and it was adorable. unfortunately i haven't mastered it on myself yet!
24demonkitty, i think a french braid would look really cute on curly hair
25i did that to my hair one time and i got so many comments on it!! i loved it b/c it was just something different!
26thanks for some nice solutions for long hair. braids definitely help to beat the heat, but these are great styles for the traveling gal who has limited time to look fashionable.
27i love the third look!
28...i love lindsays hair.. hope i can have hair like that.. dont think it suit me...
29i really like lindsay's braids! it's so casual and fun! although i'm a usually a fan of mandy moore, she looks a little scary in that picture!
30Are there directions on Lohan's braids somewhere?
Those other ones look too tightly pulled for long wavy or curly hair.
31I love Linds braids here, I always hate how I look with messy braids in my hair but I might give this look a try again, it's getting pretty hot here in Texas and having long, straight, thick hair is the worst! So I'm always looking for ways to keep cool and I hate having my hair up in a ponytail.
32awh lindsys braids are cute i wannah do my hair like that :]
33I think it gives even more beauty to the face
34I love this look but I don't think it's something new...
35i agree, i don't think this is trendy at all..haven't we seen this for a few years now? but i do love it
36looks great on Mandy and Lindsay, especially, but not too sure about Jess... I don't know, the braid stands out a bit awkwardly on her. but anyways, this is tempting me to braid my hair right now. xD
37reminds me of elementary school.
38Don't like Lindsay, but love the hair do!!
39If I wasn't a complete moron at trying to braid my own hair, I'd totally try this. I think they all look cute!
40mandy looks out of it....wow.
41I agree, these are NOTHING new! braids has always been the thing, just that more ppl are exposed to them and different varieties, no biggie, especially when ppl go to the Caribbean and get their hair braided, either in cornrow, singles or another style. Jessica's style i see all the time, i even do that do my hair when i'm bored and just put it all in a bun at the back then, the one on the left i've seen that for some years now...especially on tv too, I dont fancy Lindsay's, i'm not one for loose braids/braiding but some styles suit different ppl and different hair textures anyway.
42I know you showed us how to do Jessica's, but in my opinion, it's the ugliest one. Can you guys show us how to get Mandy's look?
43i loved linds'
44Cute, But my hair is shoulder length and the looks wouldn't work for me
45I love the look but I can't do it since my hair is about two inches long!!!!
46Luv braids!!!! Lol
47I'm not so sure about Jess's braid but Mandy and Lindsay's look so fab!
