The guide to braids

If there’s one hair look we’re obsessed with, it’s the braid. Not just for schoolgirls, we’ve been seeing them more and more on the red carpet lately – and who could forget this incredible one from Diana Kruger? Ah-mazing.
Think the braid is too tricky to do at home? Well, we’re here to flip that idea on its head… All you need is one of these six beautiful braid tutorials. Whether you want to learn how to perfect a simple vine braid, or try something a bit more elaborate, these gems have got you covered…
Which braid do you most want to try? Are there any other hair looks you’d like us to help you master?

Sigh. I struggle with a basic braid. A French braid is beyond e, never mind anything else...

The most flattering braid I find on my head is dutch braid, but so love all of them on other people...do try to play with a few boho styles too!

I love any style of hair braid; they all look so beautiful and feminine. I'm not even going to attempt to do one as I have too much pain in my arms (my arms get tired quickly). I might have to ask my hairdresser to braid my hair.

Braids are cute but I just can't seem to do them well. And my hair's too short to do a fishtail, which I really want to try

I love braids especially the waterfall braid. I have never braided my hair myself but my sister is an expert and I always get her to waterfall braid my hair.
