The summer 2008 hair trend popping up on celebrities, promenading at graduations, and displaying up-do elegance is the braid. This fun and sophisticated style offers endless creative options and may have gotten its fashion resurgence with a little help from the Renaissance Faire.

Celebrities wearing braids: Jessica Alba, Sara Jessica Parker, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Mary-Kate Olsen are among the many pretty celebs recently seen in braided styles.

How to get the braided look:

1. Find a stylist who specializes in braiding.

2. Find a book and experiment with simple styles yourself. We like Klutz Hair, a book of braiding and style.

3. Go to a Renaissance Faire this summer and have fun for the day with a braided style from early days.
