Types of plaiting for long hair

Long hair is the ideal blank canvas for various types of plaiting and braiding. If you’re lucky enough to have long, healthy strands, you can achieve these different plait styles with ease.

1. French braid

The classic French braid or French plait can be worn neat for a preppy vibe or loosened for a more boho look.

2. Dutch braid

A Dutch braid is like a French braid but with strands crossed under instead, creating a raised, defined look. Get the look yourself with our Dutch plait tutorial.

3. Fishtail braid

While the fishtail braid may look complex, this two-section braid is just as easy to achieve as a classic plait, yet has a more lived-in look.

Tip: Adapt this look for a half-up, half-down braided style by using our Contouring Original Iron to create flowing waves.

4. Waterfall braid

Whether you opt for a single waterfall braid that wraps around your head or two waterfall braids that meet in the middle to form a crown, this style gives off boho vibes.

5. Ponytail braid

The ponytail braid is a twist on the classic ponytail and keeps your hair out of your face in a gentle yet professional style.

6. Rope braid

Of all the types of braid, this is one of the simples as it only uses two strands. Reminiscent of elven princesses and Viking maidens, the rope braid offers a taste of romance and adventure.

7. Bubble braid

Unlike other hair types of braids, the bubble braid doesn’t involve plaiting, making this style super beginner-friendly.

8. Braid extensions

Often referred to as the ‘mermaid braids’ look, braid extensions add a flash of colour and should be installed by a trained professional on clean, dry hair.

Braids for short hair

If you have shorter hair, there are still plenty of different types of plaits and braids that can work for you.

9. Side braid on short hair

This elegant side braid is a quick, easy way to sweep hair off your face
while looking effortlessly stylish. Perfect for work, school runs, or nights
out, it even works with a fringe.

10. Baby braids

Baby braids are two teeny tiny face-framing plaits at the very front of your hair, either side of your parting, leaving you free to style the rest of your hair as usual – wavy, curly or straight.

11. Braided bob

Braids add structure and movement to a bob. For the best results, it’s worth getting your bob braided by a professional. Try box braids, goddess braids or twists for your next braided bob look.

Braids for afro hair

Regardless of what kinds of hair braids you prefer, a little prep not only makes the braiding process smoother but also helps protect your hair’s health and strength. Here are some simple steps to get your hair ready for braiding:

Wash your hair first: Clean hair is easier to braid and feels fresher. Use a nourishing
conditioner like Magical Remedy to leave your hair supple and shiny.
Dry thoroughly: Braiding damp hair can lead to breakage and weaken strands over time.
Brush through gently: Detangle carefully using the Luxury Paddle Brush to create smooth, neat braids and reduce stress on your scalp.
For wavy or curly hair: If you’d like a sleeker finish, blow dry with the Airshot Pro and straighten with the Wide Iron before braiding.
