Candy cane braids are the holiday styling where French braids have red and white ribbons woven through, alternating colors down each braid — the look reads literally festive and works for Christmas parties, family photos, and other holiday occasions. The technique is simple French braids with the added step of weaving ribbon through as you braid.
They flatter oval and heart faces — the symmetric braid pattern frames these shapes. Straight and wavy hair show the ribbon pattern cleanest; curly hair adapts but the ribbons are softer. Hair needs to be at least past the shoulder.
Medium styling maintenance — French braid each side starting at the temple, weave red and white ribbon through as you braid, secure ends. Takes 15-20 minutes for two braids.
