BRILLIANT BRAID #2:Milkmaid braid
Leave your neck looking long and lovely with a crown-hugging milkmaid braid. The intricate detailing of this braid will mean your hair becomes the center of attention and a major talking point among your friends. Plus, you’ll look like a total hair-styling pro – even though it’s oh-so easy.
Wear with: bare shoulders and a statement necklace.
Rock it at: a wedding or event where you want to look a little more sophisticated. It’ll make you look chic without going as elegant as a chignon.
BRILLIANT BRAID #3:Fishtail braid
Plaits can seem a little too ‘schoolgirl’ for some, so a fishtail braid is the perfect way to glam-up your ‘do. Once the braid is complete, you can give it a boho feel by pulling pieces out of it and achieving a sexy, effortless result.
Wear with: jeans and an oversized t-shirt or with a leather jacket.
Rock it at: a first date at the movies or a romantic evening with your special someone. Let it fall over your shoulder for a look that screams ‘girl-next-door.’

BRILLIANT BRAID #4:Vine braid
The vine braid is for girls who want to add a little something to their look. Sleek and simple, this braid does for your hair what a statement necklace does for a plain black tee. This style is best teamed with straight locks if you want to make it look extra special.
Wear with: a sexy dress, a structured blazer and shorts combo or a floor-length gown that’s in need of something extra.
Rock it at: a party or a night out with the girls.
