Double-Band Braids: The Hair Trend That's Going Viral

I’m always keeping an eye on the outfit trends emerging on the street style scene during fashion month, but I also look out for the beauty trends that are bubbling up among insiders. This season, there is one hair trend that is undeniably going viral among insiders: the double-band braid. I spotted the hairstyle everywhere from Copenhagen and New York to Milan and Paris, and it’s only been picking up steam among the fashion set.

The hairstyle is created by pulling hair back to the low part of the neck (either slicked back or parted in the middle), tying a simple braid, and then securing two hair bands—one at the end of the hair and another at the nape of the neck. Hence, the double-brand braid, as I’m calling it. Ahead, see how insiders are wearing the chic hairstyle and shop beauty essentials to try the look for yourself. I know I’ll be wearing it myself this fall.

One cool way to wear it: with hair ties in a contrasting color.
Insiders have been wearing the style low at the nape of their necks.
Add a serum to your hair to mimic this radiant shine.
Tina Kunakey is proving just how versatile this hairstyle is.
Here, see how to wear the double-band braid with a middle part.
Or instead, try it with slicked-back hair that is swept to the back.
Pernille Teisbaek is one of the fashion insiders helping to put this hairstyle on the map.
Or, if you want to give a nod to the hairstyle in an undone way, leave the second band off from the bottom.
Thick hair ties are an essential for the double-brand braid.
You can try matching them to your hair color.
Or opt for a different shade as a detail.
Use a styling oil to make hair super shiny.
Or opt for a cream that will combat frizz if you hair flyaways.
Use a comb to define a middle part.
Then, brush back hair using a boar-brustle brush.
Set the look using a strong hold hairspray.
Touch up your ends with a smoothing oil.
If you want to repeat the look the next day, use a restyling spray like this one from Oribe.

Next, discover the eight fall trends I'm 100% behind and how I'm wearing them.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
