It's not that hard to learn how to braid hair. Her mom probably taught her or she learned off a video on the Ark or something.

"The grounders use them for status (hense why Lexa's are so intricate) so she may wear then now because of her status as a warrior."

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that braids are a status symbol of some sort (not unless JR or the show confirms it) and Octavia is not a warrior; she's a second (a warrior's apprentice/intern basically).
