For some reason over the years there has been a constant debate on whether braids are professional enough for the workplace. Honestly, I never understood what the issue was because braids are simply a hairstyle and a great way to enhance your look. Using individual braids or cornrows to create a style, have the same effect as cutting or changing the hair color. So what’s the problem? Nevertheless, this braided hairstyle with two cornrows ending in a fishtail design is a chic & professional hairstyle for the workplace. It’s really simple and a style like this should last up to two weeks with proper care.

To create this look wash, condition and blow dry hair. Don’t forget to apply a leave-in conditioner and a heat protectant. Next, part hair down the center and french braid cornrows down to the nape of the neck and finish with a fishtail design. Secure hair by wrapping one braid close on top and one on the side with bobby pins.
