These pretty little things sit against the head but give the look of a separate braid, They're neater and more secure than their french sisters, and the finish look is gorgeous!
It means that even if your hair doesn't reach past your bum, you can get that "Milkmaid Braid" look.
Which is pretty much what my beautiful friend Naomi wanted, to a tee!
I went to college with this lovely lady and whilst I branched my creativity into my hair, she put hers into being incredible at interior design - her house (and garden) are so lovely, I get envy every time I go!
I digress, these lovely lady is a "Lob" lover, so her hair isn't that long, but she's currently planning an elegant autumnal wedding for her and her musician fiance Darren, and said she would love to have braids if her hair was long enough...
On Saturday she was attending a friends wedding so we decided to have our first trial, and then she could see how it felt to have her hair up all day and see if she liked it and it lasted - which is such a good idea for brides-to-be! It gave her the chance to test-drive her style and then we can tweak it on the big day.
Here's what we tried out for trial #1...
As Naomi's hair has a natural curl and texture, we decided to keep that element and pull strands out and keep it fly-away and flattering.
A halo of fly-away hairs is such a pretty, soft, ethereal look. The braid looked incredible and we have some ideas on how to maximise it's impactm but overall it was a roaring success!
Gorgeous couple and the best co-ordinating outfits!
Thank you so much Naomi, it was such a pleasure! xoxo
