Braids, a hairstyle that has always taken individuality further. In prehistory it was adopted as a way to convey power and status by cultures stretching from Africa to Scandinavia and China. No matter the length, you have a ton of possibilities to show off your creative side via your hair. Over the years braids have reached many depths of the world and there’s a style to suit anyone. Whether your influence is A$AP Rocky or Viking warriors.

So in this articles we are going to give you 60 braid looks that you can try yourself.

Cornrows

Probably the most popular style for men, cornrows are tight braids worn close to the head. Single plaits or double braids give you the option of playing with texture and barbers can style them as intricately as you dare.

Layered Braids

The fuss-free spin on cornrows, these can be ponytailed or left to hang free, depending on your mood. The look’s best with hair short enough that it won’t fall in your eyes.

Viking Braid

As seen on the show ‘Vikings’ king Ragnar Lothbrok, this style pulls long hair back into a single, thick warrior braid. If your workplace is more spreadsheets than pillaging this one may not be for you.

Braids With Bun

If you’re committed to your man bun, then introduce some texture by adding braids that run from your forehead into the topknot. Works well with one or multiple plaits.

If your braids will be focusing on the top part of your head, you will most likely end them in a top knot or man bun. In case your hair isn’t significantly long, a top knot will do.

Two Braids with Cornrows

Among styles of braids for men, two braids win by a long shot. They’re easy to get and complement most facial features. Nevertheless, you can make yours more complex by adding cornrows into the design.
