Celebrity hair: 3 ways to wear braids

If you're looking for festival inspiration for easy updos in the salon, we can't get enough of the braid trend. Whether you're an experienced stylist or usually one to shy away from hair-up, these three easy styles are great for some quick and easy hair-spiration. We spoke to Neil Barton, Creative Director of Neil Barton Hairdressing and Goldwell Ambassador to find how to make them work for your client.  Photo by Matt Baron 'Jessica Hart sets off her uber-chic white gown with a plaited updo, and completely pulls this off. Her hair is pulled gently off her face with a slight backcomb to create a little volume and texture. The milkmaid braids were delicately feathered to create a loose, undone look that I am loving.'

She has kept her braid un-done and low key, opting for a messy side plait which is loosely braided with a beach wave inspired look. The texture works perfectly for this time of year.'

Her bold, double french plait hairdo has been tightened through the top and slightly loosened towards the ends to create volume. Perrie Edwards – I salute you! She really pulls off this look.'
