A few weeks ago Zoe shared a where her hair (and face, obv) looked phenomenal. She'd pulled her loose waves back off her face and framed it with a glorious French braid.
Now, I am terrible at styling hair. Mine will either be straight, curled or scraped back in to a bun to wash off remnants of the days make-up - but when I saw how lovely it looked on Zo, I wanted to give it a try, you know, just to see.
Surprisingly, it was mega easy. Without following a tutorial or even tweeting asking for tips, I'd managed to achieve a pretty decent braid - Woohoo!
I popped a picture up on instagram and got quite a few requests asking me to film a tutorial for it.
So here you go, folks...
Thanks so much to Zo for the insipiration. It's the perfect easy updo that suits pretty much any occasion, be it work, going to the gym or even an evening out. It takes two minutes and stays put all day!
I hope you enjoy it - and if you do have a go at recreating it I'd love to see the results! Use the hashtag #hairbymegs on or so I can see and I'll be sure to share them :-)
That hairstyle is gorgeous on you.

I normally do my hair like this, only with twists instead of plaits. I'm going to try this for sure! xx

Love it! And since I just cut my hair short it's perfect! All I need to do now is get my head wrapped around how to do a braid - too uncoordinated! But I had a little go and can see it would look so nice!
ReplyThis is such a cute hairstyle - love how it is put together but kinda messy at the same time and your hair color is fabulous!

You look gorgeous, Meg!! I wish I could do this with my hair, but I think I have a few too many layers :(

Love this hairstyle. There are a lot of plaits about at the moment, which is great because I've always enjoyed a braid. I just think my hair is a little bit too short at the moment, but I'd really like to give this style a go :)
