Knotted Braid Hairstyle – Glam Radar

Every time I get my hair done I always leave the hairdressers with that beautiful but painfully boring ‘salon done’ hair. You know, the big, bouncy, shiny style that you could never in a million years recreate at home.

After years of this and probably due to the fact that I have to sit in those swivel chairs every seven or so weeks, I’m now deadly against the high maintenance blow dry. It’s gorgeous but slightly dull, almost too perfect in a way!So today I asked for something different. Poker straight wasn’t an option, neither were curls so my stylist came up with this and I love it, hence the random and somewhat impromptu post.

I’ve been going to this stylist for the past six months and for the first time in a long time I really feel that my hairdresser gets me and what I want from my hair. As well as working in a salon she also works for GHD on their creative team so always knows the latest looks and techniques.

The look she did on me was one she came up with over the weekend with GHD, a new kind of plait. It has no official name, but I’m going to call it the Knotted Plait, because if you look closely she actually tied/knotted parts of my hair in loops.

I wish I could share with you how she did this but I’m not entirely sure tbh, I will try to recreate it tomorrow and let you know how I get on. Alternatively, those of you with a flair for hair please share if you can work out how to do it from the pictures above :).

Ohh and doesn’t my skin look nice if I don’t say so myself, I have discovered a new foundation that I truly think is THE ONE, more on this soon.
