The DNA braid, a new hairstyle trend that is buzzing on the Web

It's the same thing every year. During the summer period, we discover lots of new trends whether in fashion, beauty, or even in terms of a slightly crazy challenge. On this side no problem, the In My Feelings Challenge has already taken the torch from the Ice Bucket Challenge and other Level Up Challenge. Except that we also discovered a novelty in terms of hairstyle. The big trend of the moment? The DNA braid or rather "DNA braid" in VF, revisited braids, soon to become the hairstyle of the summer.

An American hairdresser behind this trend

If it has such an evocative name, it is because this braid is clearly inspired by the shape of a DNA molecule, with its two intertwined helices. And according to the American site Bustle, it is the hairdresser Alexandra Wilson who is at the origin of this creation. Intertwined ponytails, big low buns or even thousands of sophisticated braids, the American hairdresser is used to posting photos of her hair exploits on her Instagram account, bringing together no less than 18,000 followers. In any case, if you are a follower of this new trend, good news, Alexandra has published a video tutorial, super simple!

The result is super pretty, right?
