BRAIDING is the go-to hairstyle for the like of Erdem and Mui Mui and this summer is seems like everyone worth their weight in clothes is getting themselves tied up in this fashion trend.
Big stars on the hair-plait bandwagon include Leona Lewis, Daisy Lowe, and Leo DiCaprio's latest flame, Blake Lively. So as it's festival season, if you want to rock the latest hair braiding fashion trends as you trudge the muddy fields between sets, here's how to style three of the best.
Bohemian: This is a good fashion trend for all hair types, which should also be freshly washed and dried naturally. - Take two thin sections of the front of your hair and pull forward. - Take one section and plait from below the ear o both sides, securing with a band and leave the rest of your hair au natural - al a Kate Moss circa 1991.
School style: If you have long hair, you can revisit your school pigtail days with a bang-on-trend 2011 update. Step 1, divide your hair with your hands into a pair of sections, and then pull both sections forward so that each side rests down the front of a shoulder. Step 2, carefully backcomb your crown, and then, commencing just beneath your chin, work in loose braids to about five inches in length. Step 3, tie the braids off with a band for that stylish Givenchy effect.
New twist: Those with their fashion radars switched on stood to attention when Alexander Wang debuted this plait look during his recent catwalk shows. This fashion trend definitely works best with hair that's unwashed, as you're after a beach look as opposed to glossy. Step 1, prepare your hair with a generous spritz of hair spray, or even better, salt spray if there's any to hand. Step 2, take your hair and sweep it all over to one side. Step 3, Braid all of that hair you've swept from end to end. Step 4, sweep over stray hair and your fringe in the same manners as before, and then use your fingers to rough up what's left.
