This summer, we’re getting all tangled up over braids.
The trend for perfect plaits has weaved itself all the way from the 90s, along with tiny backpacks and platform shoes, right onto the catwalks and celebs of 2015.
They seem to suit everyone, from edgy bold braids a la FKA Twigs and Rita Ora, to pretty plaits on Kim Kardashian and Amanda Seyfried.
Effortless and fuss free to maintain, this is the perfect style to rock at a festival, or any week at all when you just don’t feel like doing your hair.
Here’s where you can join the Braidy Bunch:
