‘Tulissa’s fishtail plait is so on trend and was seen at catwalks such as Dior this season. Long or short, they are easy to achieve…’
Tulissa’s hair how-to:
1. Use a strong hold mousse such as L’Oreal Full Volume mousse with a big round brush to achieve maximum volume and body while blow drying the hair.
2. If your hair is short to midi length like Tulissa’s you can easily make a fishtail with hair extensions. A fishtail plait is created with 2 sections crossed over each other. Divide the hair into two (rather than 3 like a traditional plait). Take one section, and pull a tiny bit of hair from underneath (so you’ll now be holding 3 sections.) Pull this over the section. Now do the same on the other side, and keep going (so effectively you’re working with 4 pieces of hair.) If you want to see this done, have a look on youtube for a video.
3. When you have finished the plait run your hand backwards up the plait to achieve a softer finish.

Following her success with L’Oreal Professionel’s Evolution Team, senior stylist Lauren recently worked on her first magazine photo shoot for Your Hair Magazine, a step by step styling article. It is for the October edition, the shoot was called Trick or Pleate. Very apt for Halloween.
Lauren was given a small brief of twisted twirls, which would create the look the magazine was looking for but she was able to give her own twist to things.
On her shoot she applied L’Oreal Volume Riche 4 to her models damp hair and blow dried using a bristle brush, lifting the hair from the roots. To protect teh hair she sprayed L’Oreal Constructor Spray and curled the models hair with GHDs. She put a french plait in the front section across the forehead to the top of the ear, using kirby grips to secure the plait. Once the curls had cooled she ran her fingers through them and secured the overall look with L’Oreal Fix Anti-Frizz.
For her second shoot she pinned the side section on her models hair back and pinned in an elegant feather clip. She dressed out the models hair and applied L’Oreal Professionel finishing products. Her model had a final change of clothes and the final photos were taken. And wella…..
Congratulations Lauren.

Mary-Kate Olsen teamed her beautiful YSL ensemble with a centre-parted side plait as she attended the Met Opera in New York for an edgy look. Using a terracotta red under-eye shadow matched to her lips, Mary-Kate made sure her hair and make-up made as powerful a statement as her outfit. Absolutely gorgeous and as unquie as ever.

Blake Lively worked a mussed-up side plait to the premiere of Green Lantern. Blake’s teased-out braids aren’t an obvivious choice of premiere-worthy tresses, but they work perfectly with her laidback style vibe.

Leona Lewis added a little understatement to her otherwise dramatic look at the Love Ball in London, with a chunky and tousled over-the-shoulder fish plait. She tamed the rest of her signature curly locks into sleek and face-flattering flicks left loose around her face.
