Long Braid

Long braids are also notable in anime for their tendency to flow with each and every character’s movements, with those thick strands of hair reaching down to waist level or even longer as a touch of grace or power. Consider Hinata’s simple braid that grows with her ninja skills in Naruto, or Asuna’s two braids in Sword Art Online that combine playfulness with grace, with artists using clear crosses and volume starting from jaw level for that realistic flow. It’s a style that speaks of careful types or of those with a mysterious nature, especially when straight and sleek or gently flowing with robes.
