Plait du Jour

Ditch last seasons French braids and fishtail plaits. Think Disney’s, ‘Tangled’ and channel your inner Rapunzel with the original 3-way plait coiffed to epic proportions.

• To achieve this look, prep the hair with large heated rollers to achieve voluminous curls, then, tease a little with a comb for added effect.

• Next, part hair loosely to the side before braiding your hair the traditional way. Choose between a central plait or one that’s off to one side and over the shoulder.

• For extra width, pull out the braid with your fingers, this will flatten the plait but create the illusion of a thicker do.

• Spritz with L'Oreal's Elnett Supreme Hold Hairspray to lock in the look.

Big hair, don’t care

This chic and timeless favourite never gets old. Here are several ways to whip up this gravity defying style without the expense of a blow-dry at the salon.

• Save yourself the arm ache of using a barrel brush and hairdryer and invest in Babyliss's Big Hair Spinning Brush for that fresh body-built blow-out.

• Add sneaky scaffolding using a small hair doughnut pinned to the crown of your head, hidden under a thick layer of hair to avoid it peeking through.

• Blow-dry upside down before applying dry shampoo or salt-spray to your roots for added oomph. Use heated rollers before finishing with a mist of hairspray to hold.

• Combine all 3 for heavenly hoisting height!
