With October finally here, we can officially say autumn has arrived, along with shorter days and cooler temperatures. So, should you be ditching all of your favourite summer looks in favour of more autumn-appropriate styles? No! The braid, one of last season’s most-loved hairstyles, is here to stay with several different variations. Some have even started combining different braided looks to create fabulous designs.
 
Multiple braids. Why settle for one braid when you can create several? This winter trend is all about giving your wrapped-up winter outfits a touch of femininity and bohemian-chic, reminiscent of more summery looks. The braid is not only designed to open up the wearer’s face during summer-time. We think this unique braid combo is ideal for autumn-winter too.
 
Who can wear the multi-braid style? This quirky style is ideal for all hair types. The braid is a great look as it suits pretty much everyone thanks to its versatility. You can quickly style your hair in the morning, without having to worry about touch-ups throughout the day. Although this runway look may seem complicated, creating this multi-braid is simpler than it looks.
 
Get the runway look. Start by parting your hair on the side of your choice. The first braid must be plaited parallel to your parting. Start by braiding from the front of your head downwards, then incorporate this braid into the rest of your lengths and finish with a classic plait. As well as looking glamorous and sophisticated, this hairstyle is perfect for work, weekend outings with family or even late-night cocktails with your best friend. Complete your look with an even layer of hairspray to keep flyaways at bay.
