With summer in full swing, the season calls for a switch up in our hairstyles. Whether you’re in need or some wedding guest hairstyle inspo or festival hair ideas, we’ve got you covered. And as we’ve been scouting out the summer hair trends for 2024, we’ve seen one certain Y2K hairstyle make a big comeback right now, and that’s baby braids.

Baby braids, braided tendrils or mini braids—whatever you want to call them—are back again, and just in time for festival season. The beauty of the low-maintenance hairstyle is that it can work across all hair textures and most hair lengths, wether you go for two face-framing plaits with tousled waves, or extra long tiny box braid tendrils, there’s a way for everyone to jump on the hair trend.

Baby braids look great with hair worn up or down, making them and a fun way to add a little extra something into your summer look. And with no hot tools required for styling, they’re a quick, low-maintenance option for summer that will withstand whatever the UK weather brings for our outdoor activities this season.

Scroll ahead for the cutest baby braid hairstyles I’ve saved—you’ll want to copy them immediately too.
