Beauty and braids

Braids are so 2012. With the trend ruling both on the runway and the red carpet you know this classic style is not just for bad haired days. The Herringbone Braid The fishtail braid is intricate and works both dressed up and dressed down. The French Braid Try a side swept messy version of this classic style for effortless chic. The Wind-Swept Braid Works best if your hair is cut in layers. Scrunch your hair with mousse before braiding. The Swiss Braid Flaunt your girly side with this simple style and floral accessories. The Braided Updo Nothing spells sophistication and elegance like an updo. The Ribbon Braid We love what the stylists backstage did to the model’s hair at the Hermes Spring 2011 show. Experiment with scarves of different colours and textures Micro Braids Wear your hair loose with a few randomly sneaked in, or add interest to an otherwise boring pony tail
