4 ideas for your next braided hairstyle

Lacking inspiration for braided hairstyles? London-based mobile stylist Liah gives us 4 fire lewks for our next braided ‘do

We’re taking a cue from London-based mobile hairstylist Liah (@signedbyliah), and levelling up our creativity with inspirational braiding styles! Recreate these four looks below using products from spellbeauty.com.

Feed-in braids

Feed-in braids

Give the illusion of thicker braids by braiding synthetic hair with your natural hair beyond the start of your hairline. Use Urban Crimp (£3.99) to create this look with ease!

Boxer braids

Boxer braids

Braid either side of your hairline and secure each one a the nape of your neck, leaving out the rest of your hair. Recreate using Urban Curve (£3.99).

Jumbo plaits

Jumbo plaits

Think bigger is better? Create a jumbo braided look by using voluminous bulk hair such as the African Collection Jumbo Braid (£1.99).

Classic canerows

Classic canerows

Revive a much-loved classic by creating canerows fed into a low bun at the nape of your neck. Use X-Pression Ultra Braid (£2.99) for a touch of vintage.
