All eyes were on Amber Heard at this week's 'Magic Mike XXL' London premiere - which is quite the feat considering Channing Tatum was there too. The reason for her being the centre of attention? Her utterly covetable, intricate yet relaxed, braided updo.
If Amber's style (and extended periods of Pinterest browsing) has given you #BraidEnvy, and you also lack dexterous fingers and eyes in the back of your head, we have good news.
Kerastase have put together a handy eBook, complete with adorable illustrations by Jessica Durrant to help you nail the braided style of your dreams.
To celebrate the launch of Materialiste, their new and utterly wonderful all-over-thickening spray, the Couture Book of Braids spans over thirty styles and can be downloaded for free onto your smartphone or computer.
With tutorials for over thirty styles from classic French to ingenious, insouciant summer 'dos, there's something for every taste - and ability level. While some may think 'Pippi Longstocking' when we talk about plaits, if we've seen anything on the catwalks and A List of late, it's that braids can be unfussy, undone and totally covetable. From intricate Heidi-esque crown braids to beachy fishtails, if there's one style that always tops our summer lust list, it's the plait.
