Who knew a Gibson tuck hairstyle could look this chic? According to this Instagrammer, pairing a vintage tuck with beautiful braids is the way forward, bringing this look into the 21st century with some contemporary charm.

Now before you kick, scream and get major mane envy over not being able to rock this look, know that we have you well and truly covered. Just take a look at our tutorial on how to get a Gibson tuck at home, here, and all your hair dreams will come true. Credit: @w_w_w_mj_

5. Space buns

If there’s one hairstyle that’s ruled them all this season, it’s space buns. And it’s not hard to see why, either — they’re edgy and adorable at the same time, not to mention a practical way to keep your hair wrapped neatly away.

But if your tresses aren’t quite long enough to work this look, or if you just want to bring out your inner Parisian It-girl, you can easily try the lower version of this hairstyle: macaron buns (AKA a French girl’s best friend). Whatever style you choose, you’ll look gorgeous! Credit: @luka_metz

6. Milkmaid braid

When it comes to romantic hair updos for medium-length hair (that’s also easy to DIY, of course!), our absolute favourite is the milkmaid braid.

Just look at how this beauty rocks it and then you’ll understand why we’re obsessed with it. And when you realise you are, too, get the look for yourself with our milkmaid braid tutorial (yay!). Credit: @barefootblonde

Editor’s tip: If your locks tend to fall on the finer side, plump up your braided hairstyle with the TONI&GUY Root Lift Sculpting Powder!

Simply dust it over your braid after you’ve weaved it, then pancake it by gently pulling at each section with your thumb and forefinger, and prepare to be amazed by its thicker appearance.
