If you are looking for an updo that showcases a braid up front then check out Aimee Teegarden at Cambio and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution Celebrate the Premiere of "Aim High."
She has a side part and is bang-less with a braid that starts at the part and circles around to the back where there is a simple bun as shown in the picture below of the back view.
The strands are twisted into a neat little bun that sits at the nape of the neck. She has fringe left out on each side that softens the look and makes it more feminine.
This third picture shows a side view as to how the braid is brought into the style. Her hair color is a subtle berry brunette shade. She has big round disk earrings that make a bold statement with turquoise stones set inside the brass colored metal. She is wearing a long sleeve black dress with a plunging neckline.
This style is one to ponder for any special event.
