Hairstyle of the week: the knotted braid with loose lengths
We’ve completely fallen in love with this side braid which blends into the rest of the hairstyle. Want to find out more about this boho-inspired, simple to wear trend? Look no further…
Why you’ll love it. This trend was made for those of you with mid-length to long locks. Hair was worn gathered at the rear, ideal for opening up the face and drawing all the attention to your make-up. Another reason to love this style is because you can incorporate an on-trend accessory, whether you opt for a statement pair of earrings, a pendant necklace or even a choker. This look is suited to outings with friends as well as for your 9-5, adding a relaxed, unique and feminine touch to your outfit.
Get the runway look. Start by washing hair with Hydration and Suppleness shampoo to strengthen and add shine. Dry as normal, carefully detangling. Apply a heat-protective spray all over before straightening in sections for a smooth finish. Gather your lengths at the rear of the head with a brush, then separate your section to be used for braiding which should come from the centre or back of the head. Create your plait using three even sections and stop braiding around the mid-lengths, securing in place with a hair tie. Bring forward to rest on your shoulder, ensuring it is visible to passers-by. Simply finish with a layer of hairspray to make sure your style stays put all day long.
