"We&amp;#x27;ve already seen three gorgeous braided hairstyles from the red carpet this week, but you&amp;#x27;re gonna have to make room for one more on your must-copy list: this romantic side-braid spotted on Jordin Sparks. She wore this &amp;#x27;do to the American Idol finale last night and I think she looks so lovely. Her braid is really uncomplicated, but there are a few little touches that make it stand out: 1. It&amp;#x27;s big and loose. I love the look of a jumbo braid and hers isn&amp;#x27;t done too tightly, which gives it a more casual effect. 2. It&amp;#x27;s messy. There is a lot of hair hanging out in the front so she can go about her business all night and not have to worry about her hair looking perfect. Love that. 3. The hair isn&amp;#x27;t braided all the way down to the end. I like that she left some wavy texture on display on the bottom&amp;amp;ndash;it balances out the loose pieces around her face. Pretty simple, right? I just think the average person would probably need some help from some extensions to get the same length and thickness. But overall, Jordin&amp;#x27;s look is a winner. Do you agree? Have you rocked a side braid lately? P.S. Doesn&amp;#x27;t Jordin&amp;#x27;s hair kind of remind you of the Katniss braid from The Hunger Games? Photo: Alberto E.
