There's no denying it — the Y2K aesthetic that’s been dominating fashion and beauty is here to stay, at least for a while now. The latest noughties trend to make its way back to circulation is face-framing baby braids. First seen on the likes of the Spice Girls, these fun and flirty braids are now being sported by celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Bella Hadid. “The reason these braids work is because they can be easily recreated on hair of any texture with tools that people have at home. They also frame most face shapes beautifully. The only exceptions are very broad faces or if you already have a fringe,” explains Drishya Bhagyanath, a hair stylist at Trendy Hair Salon.
