Beauty How-To: Oversized Side Braids

Oversized, messy side braids are the next top knot messy bun for this Spring/Summer. Looks amazing with a casual summer outfit, and creates a soft and feminine look for the evening. These have been huge on the runways from Alexander Wang to Miu Miu.

To get this look, simply pull your hair to one side and braid! Use some hair volumniser or sea salt spray to give your locks some height. Don’t fret if strands of hair come loose, the mess is part of the charm. Finish off the style with a spritz of hairspray.
