\"Untitled-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The messy side braid is the LBD of hair, i.e. a total classic.<\/p>\n

It’s so bohemian, feminine, simple to style, … no wonder it’s a firm favourite amongst many top models and celebs.<\/p>\n

Best of all, this look is so versatile and can literally be worn anywhere.
\nEva Longoria, for instance, has worn this style sooo many times, both on the red carpet and when out shopping!<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t even need to worry about being precise with the styling, because the whole point of the look is \u2018messy\u2019!<\/p>\n

I have always loved the side braid style, and even wore my hair that way for the L\u2019Oreal Colour Trophy Awards last year.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can recreate it:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

1. This kind of style doesn\u2019t really work on freshly washed hair, so if you\u2019re finding it difficult to style, just spritz some dry shampoo throughout the hair, or maybe add some Osis Dust It Mattifying Powder<\/a>, as these will all texturise the look further. If you want to create some height at the crown of the head, lightly backcomb the roots, and then hold it in place with some hairspray.<\/p>\n

2. Next, pull the hair to one side, and gently tease the strands with a comb (or a\u00a0 backcombing brush). This will help with the \u2018messiness\u2019 of the look. When hairstylist, DJ Quintero, was styling Blake Lively\u2019s hair into a messy side plait earlier this month, he first used a curling iron all over her hair to give it lots of texture. He explained how he then loosely gathered random pieces and started fishtailing her hair to one side. It\u2019s up to you whether you want to go with a French braid, a fishtail plait, or a traditional old-style plait.<\/p>\n

\"blake-lively\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Once you have finished braiding the hair and have it secured with a hair tie, you can start very lightly teasing the hair out of place, but only do this if you think it\u2019s not already \u2018messy\u2019 enough. (On that note, just make sure you don\u2019t overdo the messy appearance either!) As soon as DJ Quintero was finished braiding Blake Lively\u2019s hair, he teased random parts of the hair to give it an imperfect feel, before spritzing it with some Serge Normant Dry Oil, and finishing it with L’Or\u00e9al Elnett hair spray.<\/p>\n

So there you have it! A perfect style to try out this bank holiday weekend! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
