Super easy plait hairstyle you can create in under 5 minutes

I recently watched the film Me Before You (which is super sad by the way, you have to give it a watch) and loved the hairstyle of the main character Louisa Clark.

The main hairstyle Louise Clark wore a lot were two plaits that were worn like a crown on the top of her head. The look was super cute and different to the hairstyles you normally see.

Inspired I created my own version of her look, my version is very simple and you don’t need any special skills to try it yourself. If you love french plaits but have no idea how to do them in your own hair, this is hairstyle is a great alternative. Here’s my step by step guide so you can recreate it:

1 . First I separated my hair into two and plaited each section. I secured the plaits with a clear plastic hair band.
2. I took the plait on the right side of my head and pulled it along the centre of my hair fastening it on the left side.
3. I took the plait on the right side and pulled it alongside the centre of my head fastening it with a Kirby grip on the left side so it stays secure.

Once you’ve finished your hair will look a lot more sophisticated then it actually is as people will think you’ve created french plaits throughout your hair.

• Top tip- you can add extra Kirby grips to the plaits to ensure they stay firm, this will also help avoid the weight of the plaits pulling them down over the course of the day.

So what do you think of the look? Is it something you’d try? Let me know in the comments below.
