BOHO PLAITS (Festival Feature)



I thought I would do a quick post on how I styled my friends hair at T in The Park. We chose to do plaits as we thought they would be the best option. Nikita wanted something that kept her hair out of her face but was still soft and stayed in place all day. So for her I decided to french plait the hair around the front of the head round to the back. I then plaited two standard braids with the hair that was left, making sure I left a small section of hair in between the two braids. I then used that piece of hair to weave in and out of the plaits to make it look like a double braid.

Kiera also wanted something that kept her hair out of her face but she also needed a little more durability. Kiera and I spent most our time in the music tents with the dance and house music so we needed all our hair off our neck, as it got very hot and sweaty in the tents, and something that didn't fall out when we were jumping around. We decided that tight braids would work best but we wanted to do something slightly different than the average 2 french plaits. I sectioned Kiera's hair into 5 sections, the biggest one being straight down the middle of her head. With this section I plaited a dutch braid. The next section was a fishtail plait that I had done using the french plait technique so it was against the head. The last section was also a dutch braid just smaller. I then repeated the last two sections on the other side.
