Kristen has made her account into a compilation of carefully put together posts. Her account's design is flawless, but her hair is undoubtedly the star of the show: long blond hair which she colours pink, blue or purple. With her punk style, she succeeds in modernising great classics. Braided crowns, pigtail and bohemian plaits, sleek cornrows, fishtail braids (an easy braid to create)... nothing escapes her. Kristen spots trends and creates them either from a half-ponytail or a ponytail. Her hairstyles are an inspiration for everyone, including brunettes and redheads. And if you have fallen in love with her style, take a look at her blog (kokay.me) which is full of great tutorials.

3. @amberfillerup for adapting braids to your outfits

Amber's account? A well-connected online family album complete with photos of fashion and travel with dazzling photos full of colour. Her common theme? Plaits. This 'braid addict' (as she describes herself) integrates them into her daily life. You'll find classics (braided crowns, pigtail plaits, African braids...) which she combines with cocktail dresses, or bohemian or city styles. Some of her hairstyles are very complex such as the twisted half ponytail which ends in a fishtail braid. Others are more fun, like her Pocahontas double braids.
