Hélène, 25: “The braided crown is my style for spring”
Your style? A casual style with bold accessories. For this spring, I’ve gone for pastel pieces to create a bohemian, romantic look. I love this slightly retro trend that takes me right back to my childhood without looking too much like a goody-two-shoes. Plus, this style helps me bring out my childish side, which I love!
Your hairstyle? I always need to put my hair up. When I leave it down, I always feel a bit unkempt or I don’t know what to do with it. But it’s not enough to just put it up with a grip or a hair band. I like more detailed hair styles, but ones which are easy to do yourself. Spending an hour doing my hair in the morning: no thanks!
Your style today? For go with my current romantic look, the braided crown is the best style I’ve found. As one of the stand-out styles of this season, I wanted to try it out straight away! To do it, I start by applying a volumising mousse (link to Design Mousse Urban Style) once I’d washed my hair. Next, I create a side-parting and plait from the base of it. I try and avoid pulling the hair too tight to keep the braid looking loose. Then I pull the rest of the hair into a loose bun.
