Spring 2010 beauty report: Braids

From fishtails to milkmaid updos, every permutation of the plait is right on trend for spring.
{SPRING BEAUTY GUIDE}

This season’s number one hairstyle: braids. And every pretty plaited permutation is on trend. “That’s the whole thing about trends now—everything’s a trend. We’re trying to do it all,” says Danilo, Pantene celebrity hairstylist. Evidence on spring’s runways: Tried and true inverted, updo and fishtail versions ruled at Giambattista Valli, Rochas and Emanuel Ungaro, while models at Nathan Jenden, KTZ, Oscar de la Renta and Alexander Wang wore milkmaid, Pippi Longstocking, Heidi and girl-next-door styles. “Braids have been so popular because we have been using the hair as ornamentation, as opposed to using grips, slide combs and accessories,” says Eugene Souleiman, Wella Professional global creative director and architect of the updos at Rochas, and Antonio Marras’ dishevelled creations. “They look cool and are very easy to do at home.”

Read on to see more braids on the runway, and what you need to get the look.
