A SET OF BRAIDS PLEASE

Cara and DKNY knows.

I’ve always had a thing for braids, but years, no, actually for decades, it’s been a style reserved for children and yes how do I put this,- scantily dressed women. But with fashions 70s wave, it’s perfect timing to sport a set of braids – even as an adult ,whoop! Think of Woodstock, denim, fringes, suede and Brigitte Bardot for instance – braids fits perfectly.

Miss Bardot and the braids.

This is how I like to make a set of summer braids: Use a little salt water spray in your hair before you start,-this gives the braids a little structure and hold. Braid as far down as you like and secure with a transparent elastic like ‘Blax’ for instance. If you want a more tussled and careless feel about it, then use a little clay-like hair wax like ‘Kiesel Wax’ from Less Is More to roughen the braids up a little,- or a lot. Personally I’d totally wear this now if my hair was long enough..
