Lara Stone recreated yet another of the Sixties’ infamous ‘do. Since that great era until today, the heart of this backcomb creation is none other than a hairspray with a strong hold. If you want extra boost, spritz hair with a good root volumizing spray. The product will give your hair enough lift. This will in turn result in less teasing which is damaging to the hair.

Ordinary buns can a bore, we know. That’s why from time to time a tweaked version is necessary such as Ester Heesch’s multi-spiraled version.

Score the ‘do by creating a sleek base with mousse. Part hair to one side, and then do a low-slung ponytail. Apply some gel at the ends to make them more polished. Do a few sections (1/2 inch) of the loose end of the pony and twist each tightly until they bend naturally. Pin each to the base of the ponytail making sure that no stray hairs are seen. Hairspray’s optional.

This is another braided hairstyle that we highly recommend for formal events and proms! Part hair to one side then separate the front section of the hair from the rest of your mane. Apply gel to the front section and do finger waves by combing the strands thoroughly. Next, shape the first wave by putting a finger at the end of a 3” horizontal section of the front part. Push the hair forward on top of the finger towards the forehead using a fine-toothed comb then remove your finger and clip that part. Do two more waves using the same technique.

Braid the back section until the tip then tie with elastic. Roll the ends inward, towards the nape, then pin. Remove the clips of your marcel waves. Sweep it gently over your ear then clip it on the side of the braid then tuck and clip the end under the plait for a clean finish. Give yourself a pat on the back! You deserve it!

French stunner Marine Deleeuw sporting a thin version of the milkmaid braid. The hairstyle looks so romantic and is perfect for weddings.

DIY: Do an even parting at the middle. Get a 1” section of hair behind the right ear, French braid it all the way to the end then fasten with elastic. Gather the rest of the hair into a low ponytail excluding the braid you did awhile ago. Twist the end of the pony into a bun then secure with pins. Get the braided hair and lay it across your head until you reach the other ear then pin it right behind it. Put a few more pins to secure the braid on the crown.
