Claire Danes‘ hairstyle is everything but a classic chignon we are used to. Good news is that this is very easy to repeat on your own, so no need to go to hairdresser. Steps to take:

  1. Blow dry your hair for some texture and body.
  2. Create deep side parting and tease your hair a little bit on the crown.
  3. Collect your hair and tie it in a low pony tail.
  4. Create fishtail braid.
  5. Coil the braid into loose bun and secure it with bobby pin.

Worried about how much hair it takes to make that fishtail braid and still have that wild, curly mane all voluminous and cool on the side? Worry not, no need to renounce those extra few locks of volume. All you need is faux braid hair extension to clip it at your nape and cover with rest of your hair. Nicole Scherzinger proudly promoted her brand new style at the streets of London this summer. Sunkissed hair looks so good on her, don’t you think?

Base of Emmy Rossum’s hairstyle is good, old milkmaid braid. Chic statement of this style is hair crimping before creating the big braid over the crown. Hair crimping is life savior if your hair is thin and lacking volume. Depending on your preference, when repeating this style you can opt for both middle and center parting of your bangs. Leave a few wisps loose on the sides to soften the look.

Beyonce was wearing this hairstyle on promotion of her „Beyonce pulse“ fragrance. How to make low side braid look so glamorous? Simple: side part your hair, sweep it over opposite shoulder, braid it, secure it with elastic band and pay some special attention to your bangs when making this soft wave. Not just any other braid out there when you have few sunkissed highlights in it. We agree with Beyonce – when asseccorizing this hairstyle with earrings, they should not hang bellow your earlap, and yes, they should sparkle.

Red carpet affection for braids is still very much alive and kicking, according to Cannes Film Festival 2014. Eva Longoria’s hairstyle is only confirming this affection. Her discreetly sunkissed hair was parted on the side, blow dried and slightly backcombed for additional volume. Her wispy bangs are swept to the side, delicately touching her forehead. Her hair was then braided into disheveled, side swept fishtail braid and secured with elastic. Minimum hair length to support repeating this hairstyle is four inches bellow shoulders.

It’s actually not entirely fishtail braid that makes the hairstyle Leona Lewis is wearing here. As shown on the photo from behind, there is simple, loose french braid starting from the left side and continuing over her nape. Once reaching the opposite side of her neck, her hair is weaved into slightly messy fishtail braid. If you wish to copy this style, don’t worry about few loose wisps here and there on the fishtail braid part (they are particulalry unavoidable if your long hair is cut in layers). They are part of the charm of this hairdo, so let them be. Hair section that needs special attention are side bangs! Do give them a touch of delicate blow dry and a mist of hairspray.

Attention ladies! We have coolness overload right here. Out-of-bed look is all about being drop dead gorgeous with I-don’t-care attitude. Poppy’s straight, long, blond hair is cut in soft layers, which is recommendable starting point for this hairstyle. Wanna try it on? Apply some volumizing mousse on your dump hair, bend down and flip your tresses over, direct the air flow of your blow dryer to the roots (intentional frizz is part of this style) and gently crumple your hair from ends to roots until it is completely dry. Avoid overdoing your style, so use only fingers to set your locks to the place. Part your hair in the middle, take one 2“ section closest to your face and make a loose braid. Voilà!

Seems like braids are not giving up their throne on the red carpet, even in 2014. Blake Lively arrived at 2014 Cannes Film Festival wearing this elegant, high ponytail braid.The charming thing about this hairstyle is the contrast between the sleek sections on the head, and the coarse, disheveled braid. To get this hairstyle, apply hair cream and comb your hair to make the roots smooth before collecting it into a high ponytail. Take a small section of your hair and wrap it around an elastic band to conceal it. Tease your ponytail slightly and make a simple loose braid. Keyword: disheveled! So not too messy.

Cute? You betcha! Always expect unexpected from Gwen Stefani’s style, like matching classic chignon and double arching dutch braids weaved from the hairline all the way to the nape. Well lets be realistic, whenever she decides not to let her hair touch that lovely face, she is only doing her appearance a big favor. For DIY we warmly recommend at least a day old hair to avoid disobedient strands in braids. If this is not helping, take very small amount of hair conditioner, rub it between your palms and stroke the surface of your hair.

Punk out a demure hairstyle by adding a section of barely-noticeable plait right in the middle just like the models at the 2014 Tibi Fall runway. Create a thin section at the center right after blow drying hair stick straight. Dutch braid that section tight (like, headache-inducing kind of tight). You can stop right below the crown or you can go all the way down to the nape.

Bibhu Mohapatra’s homage to Tibet run the gamut – from geographic printed ensembles to tribal plaits. Hairstyle-wise, a modernized and funky version of a Tibetan braid reigned supreme at the 2014 F/W Mohapatra runway, and we love it!

  2. Divide blow-dried hair into three sections – left, right, and middle (widest). Secure each section with elastic…
  3. French braid the left and right section until the end. The middle section should be weaved until about 2” before you hit the end. Secure all with clear elastic…
  4. Create a large bun by intertwining the three sections. Make sure that the tail of the middle section is pinned under the bun and the edges untucked.
