Braided Prom Hairstyles

If you're feeling extra edgy, you may be interested in the fantastic braided bun Alicia Keys wore to the 2009 American Music Awards. Her stylist parted her hair in two places on either side of the head and French braided the pieces up from the nape of her neck into a twisting bun above the side of her face. It's edgy and a little retro all at once!
