Soft, plump and trendy: here is the pancake braid, the glam-chic hairstyle loved by trendsetters all over the world

Loved by the most famous fashion bloggers on the planet, the pancake braid is literally depopulating, so much so that it has become one of the most glam-chic and trendy hairstyles of the moment. It is not a type of braid, but rather a way of making it, so it can be done on any variant of braid - French, herringbone, spike, cascade or crown. Yes, because the principle of the pancake braid is precisely to act on the meshes, widening and stretching them, for a pancake effect, as if the braid were leavening, becoming plumper and softer. Forget about perfect and flawless braids, it is the era of messy style!

In the photo below, you can clearly see the difference between a pancake braid and a braid made in the standard way. On the left, in fact, you will notice a decidedly looser version: soft and deliberately imprecise, the pancake braid appears much wider and less refined than the classic braid (right).
