The Roman Braided Hairstyle

The Romans were known for many things and one of those was their beautiful women. Roman women would often wear their hair braided which has become a hairstyle still worn today. Roman women braided their hair in several different styles. One of the most common was to have the front hair parted down the middle and waved, with the back hair braided and pinned to the top of the head.

Another popular style of Roman braids is to have your hair braided on one side of your head and then take that one long braid and bring it over the top of your head and loop it around to the top of your head so it shapes like a crown. This hairstyle is best worn on women who have naturally long hair or women who have hair extensions.

Another braided hairstyle is to again have the front half of your hair parted down the middle and then back half parted from side to side. The front sections are braided to below the ears and then French braided into the hair at the back. This is a very distinct style and can be made to look modern by not having the parts be so tight and having the hair loosely braided.

One nice Roman inspired braided hairstyle is to braid all of the hair and then wrap the braid around itself to form a bun. This hairstyle can be worn on top of the head or at the nape of the neck. Each style will create a different look and both can be dressed up or dressed down. To dress up the hairstyle add a few sparkle hair accessories, to dress it down again create a loose braid and loose bun.

We can thank the Romans for many of the things we have today. We can also thank them for the idea of braiding and the hairstyles they created that are still used today.

The Desperate Housewives actress – who counts on stylist Ken Paves to keep her brown tresses looking foxy. It seems like Parker is open to hair experimentation. as she's sported just about every hairstyle we can think of on the red carpet. Here's the breakdown on some of her best looks – hopefully you'll find the perfect look for your prom.

We love Eva's take on the classic half-up, half-down hairstyle. Stylist Ken Paves teased the hair around the crown for retro volume, styling the sections around Eva's face in smooth face-framing tendrils. The rest of Eva's hair was styled in voluminous curls – curls that probably had some help with extensions.

Eva also knows how to rock a classic updo. This asymmetrical style may be a little too grown-up for prom, but it's a great way to keep the hair looking elegant in a gown with a busy neckline. Eva's stylist was sure to part the pieces around Eva's face to the opposite side as her bun for balance.
