Let’s admit it. The highlights of this year’s Coachella Music Festival were undoubtedly Beyonce’s two performances. However, coming back to Earth, there have been some other interesting trends that took off at Coachella, from crazy outfits and accessories to makeup looks.

This year, it was time for the beautiful pipe braid that inspired everyone and became a trend, even after Coachella ended. So, here are all the details about the new trend that took off at Coachella, the pipe braid.

After Beyonce’s performances, everything else came in second. However, people were still on the hunt for new hairstyles, makeup looks, and outfits at this year’s Coachella. So, after looking at every social media platforms out there, we concluded that the pipe braid was the clear winner when it came to cool hairstyles. Now, everyone wants to try it, even if it may seem a little difficult to do. This is why we have gathered information from the woman who started it all, along with a video tutorial for you to be able to recreate this look. Enjoy!

Her look was worn by almost everyone at this year’s Coachella. Yes, this rounded braid may look very difficult to do but in fact, it’s not that difficult. It just takes a little bit of practice to do it.

Most people prefer it because apart from being convenient and keeping your hair off your neck, it is a lot edgier than other traditional braids. You also see a French braid, fishtail braid, or a Dutch braid on everyone these days. It’s understandable that people want something new and different. If you are one of them, the pipe braid is a perfect choice.
