Hate Washing Your Hair? These Four Stellar Summer Braids Let You Get Dirty

We've been braid-obsessed for some time now. Not only for their playful appeal, but because a little braiding is the perfect pick-me-up for limp, dirty, or bad-hair-day tresses. Summer is the best time to up the ante on your braiding skills with a few grungy-hair-approved takes on the classics.
