"BRAIDS!!!!"
Braids made a big appearance at the SAG Awards with stars like Kaley Cuoco, Dianna Agron and Busy Phillips opting for the casually beautiful, chic style. Celebrity and editorial stylist Ted Gibson created a milkmaid braided look at a recent Rachel Roy show and offers this how-to: First, part hair down the middle all the way to the nape of the neck. To create the texture necessary to “grip” the braided style, he recommends prepping the hair with L’Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert Expansion mousse. Divide the hair into two, low, symmetrical pigtails. Next, braid each pigtail, pulling at pieces for a more natural, mussed-up effect. Secure both braids along the crown with bobby pins to create the appearance of one continuous braid and use L’Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert Architexture to smooth flyaways at the crown and finish with a misting of hairspray.
