BRAIDS CAN BE HARD
TO SEE IF YOU HAVE A
MONOCHROMATIC HUE
(LIKE SOLID BROWN).
CONSIDER HIGHLIGHTS
OR LOWLIGHTS FOR
TONAL DIFFERENCES
THAT WILL STAND OUT
WHEN WOVEN, SAYS
CELEBRITY STYLIST
GEORGE PAPANIKOLAS.
A HOTTER HEIDI
on the milkmaid braids,
this hybrid combines the best of two worlds:
beachy waves and a face-framing plait.
✶ Prep strands with a few spritzes
of salt spray (like Eleven Sea Salt
Texture Spray, $21.95), and scrunch
to lock in the texture. Next, create a
centre part and French braid a 5cm
section down along your hairline on
both sides. Stop braiding below your
ears, and pin with a bobby pin.
