25 Bizarre Braided Innovations

From Earphones Made of Hair to Hairy Masks

— June 13, 2012 — Fashion
Woven hair is one of the most practical and tried-and-true styles out there, and these bizzare braided innovations highlight how much change the traditional style has seen.

Keeping hair tucked away and looking beautiful, the braid lends itself to many other products, often working its way into them in decidedly weird ways. Making most subjects it's part of into more durable while providing wearers with a gorgeous and ethereal look, the braid is a style open to much interpretation. Forever adding visual interest to hair and a multitude of products, the braid is popular for good reason and sure to stick around.

Distinct looking and reliably attractive, it's hard to imagine design without the influence of woven styles. Evident in a multitude of industries and integrated into many products, the braid is a playful and inescapable design.
