Braided hair for holidays, outfit 251

Braids or plaits. Photo by Angela Lansbury.

I saw heads of braided hair which I thought were wigs in Phuket, Thailand. But they were examples of effects which could be produced by the shop braiding your own hair. 

Braiding, as the Americans say, or plaiting, as one says in the UK, is easy. The professional part is securing the end of the plait, spacing a series of plaits, using a comb, and threading a contrasting ribbon of an appealing colour. 

I tried out a couple of thin plaits either side of my face to see whether I liked the effect. I did. With unlimited time and money I would have had my hair done.or bought a couple of ready made plaits on clips.
