How to: Get the Heidi Braid

We all dread waking up and glancing in the mirror to see an unruly mop of hair, and this always occurs on the day you need to look good. Finally i've found a solution, whether it's a job interview, a lunch date or a night out, try The Heidi Braid.


At NYFW this year, models at the Rebekkah Minkoff show were strutting down the catwalk in gorgeous outfits and braids, not ordinary braids though, these ones have a different twist (literally) 

Here's how to get the look in four easy steps:
1. Start with dry hair and part it directly down the center. Ensure you have the same amount of hair on both sides.
2. Fishtail braid down the left side of the head, starting at your ear, and right through to the ends. Secure with a thin elastic.
3. Repeat this step on the right.
4. Cross the braids over the top of your head and secure with bobby pins. Remove the elastics and tuck in the tails so  they don't show. Now get ready for the compliments to roll in!
