How To Do: La Braid by Kerastase
Kerastase call it La Braid, you and I would call it the fishtail plait! Either way, it is this summer’s hottest hair trend and can be spotted on the most stylish of celebs including Kim K and the UK’s own Leona Lewis.
You do need a bit of length to get the best results but Craig followed the Kerastase Card instructions on shoulder length hair and we think it looks fabulous!
Products For Best Effect:
Kerastase Materialiste
A texture spray that creates instant beach waves without the stickiness. Can also be used to style second day hair.
Hold: Medium and Flexible
Create: Beachy waves or second day hair
Stylist Tip: Use a curling iron for a soft, more defined texture.
Laque Couture
A micro-fine diffusion hairspray that sets all styles in place with a flexible long-lasting hold.
Works perfectly with heat tools.
Hold: Flexible
Create: All styles. Great to set all styles in place.
Stylist Tip: Excellent with heat tools for setting.
You’ll also need a hair-dryer with a diffuser and an oval brush.
- Prep the hair with Materialiste by applying product to the palm of your hand. Evenly distribute the product throughout the lengths and ends of your hair.
- Use a hairdryer with the diffuser attached to dry the hair.
- Seperate the hair into two even sections and hold in place with an elastic.
- Now follow the diagram below:
- Secure with an elastic.
- Loosen the braid to create and effortless, romantic look.
- Finish: To avoid flyaways, spray an oval brush with Laque Conture and brush the hair backwards.
