Editor’s tip: Before creating your loose braid wash your hair with the TRESemmé Collagen+ Fullness Shampoo and Conditioner. Then apply the TRESemmé Collagen+ Fullness Thickening Balm through your hair before blowdry. This range will give your hair lift, adding body, and make your braid look lovely and full.
2. It’s super easy to create

5. They can be dressed up
If you have a special occasion lined up, why not dress up your loose plait hairstyle with a strip of ribbon? Make like Emily Ratajkowski and finish your look off with a black satin ribbon secured around the end of the braid.
Alternatively, you can try a ribbon headband or weaving ribbon through your braid for a unique, showstopping finish. Credit: @luellasbridal
