Which kind of braid is your favourite?

Braiding is my kind of thing lately and since there are some many different styles and kinds of braids, which one is your favourite? Maybe you have one favourite because it's easy and another favourite because you like the look.

Recently I learned to make the 5-strand braid and the boxbraid in the french version. And my favourite at the moment is the boxbraid in the french way. Actually, I like all braids more in the french braid version.
My all time favourite is just the plain french braid. Easy and quick to do and it has a nice look

I didn't make a poll, since there are too many kinds. Anyway, what about you?

I like the look of "Dutch" and 5-strand braids.
I can do Dutch braids myself, French seems a little more difficult.
A plain old "English" braid down one's back is good too.

My favorite braid at the moment is the Dutch braid.

I'm also fond of pigtail English braids.

I've always liked french braids (probably my favourite!), and fairly often do them for my night-time braid or for a braided bun. I also like a 5-strand french, but I don't do those as often.

So, hypothetically speaking, if one were unable to do a more complex braid than the plain ordinary three-strand one, where would one find instructions for doing this Dutch braid?

I looked through the articles and didn't find any.

I don't know which my favourite braid is. There are so many different beautiful braids. Unfortunately I cannot do too difficult braids on myself, though. Perhaps learning to do a boxbraid on myself will be my next project. Or a herringbone braid? Or perhaps a crown braid...
