If your hair is freshly washed blast it smooth with a hairdryer. If it’s day old hair use Charles Worthington Front Row Refresh and Revive Dry Shampoo to absorb any oil. Naturally curly hair should be straightened first.
Step One -

Your hair needs guts for this style. If it is naturally frizzy, spritz with a little Front Row Volume Blow Dry Spray. For silkier hair, use Front Row Rough and Tousled Salt Spray at the roots and comb through to the ends, this will help hold the plait. If the hair feels damp, blow-dry and then smooth any flyaways with a soft bristle Mason & Pearson brush.
Step Two -

Section the hair from the top of the ear across to the other ear. It doesn’t need to be too neat. Clip the hair below to keep it separate.
Step Three -

Spend a good few minutes brushing all the hair forward so it is all facing in the same direction – this prevents any lumps or baggy areas in the braid. Use Front Row Forever Lasting Hairspray to lightly smooth.
Step Four
The romantic braid seen at Erdem was a big hit with Team ELLE at the spring summer shows. So we hot-footed it to Charles Worthington’s Percy Street salon to meet Marc Trinder, Creative Manager at Charles Worthington Salons and the mastermind behind the ‘halo braid’. Here’s his step-by-step guide…
To book your Catwalk Master Class, prices from £47 with Marc Trinder, at 7 Percy Street, London W1T 1DH, call 020 7631 1370 / charlesworthington.com
