Hair Inspiration – Braids Are Back

Rosemary Slade Posted: February 18, 2013

We know how thirsty you are for inspiration, especially inspiration of a hair and beauty nature. In fact, we had so many requests that we decided to dedicate an entire magazine to Hair and Beauty! Now we’re bringing you some Monday Funday inspiration from our hair and beauty experts, so you can get your big day look sorted (or at least get your favourite Pinterest board looking a little healthier!) The most effortless way to achieve a glamorous look for the big day is to sweep your tresses up, up and away! Show off your cheekbones and eyes, and embrace old world charm with these high-flying upstyles.

Braids are back, and they’re a classic way to combine formal and casual looks. Experiment with styles and strands to create anything from a loose French braid to an intricate fishtail. Be warned, these plaits can be puzzling; enlist an extra mirror or a friend’s helping hands!
