So which celebs have been twining their tresses?
In the last months, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson have been playing around with hair braiding to their heart’s content – from French plaiting to accent braids – and winning rave reviews for doing so. Jessica’s recent side braid is a hit that works well with any length and is easy to recreate at home.
Actress Scarlett Johansson’s sizzling braided hairstyle at the premiere of A Love Song for Bobby Long has not been lost in any translation. While she left her blond front hair softly framing her face, as in a classic updo, the hair braiding job at the back has riveted everyone’s attention with its tied-off, sassy plaits – ends displayed, no apologies.

Less edgy yet just as bewitching was the beehive bun with a braided headband that Beyonce Knowles displayed at The Fighting Temptations world premiere. Destiny’s Child talent always turns heads wherever she goes, but this particular hair braiding showpiece created a style that’s still being imitated.
Nelly Furtado’s hair may be as loose and wild as her latest album, but her braided schoolgirl look remains as appealing as ever. Her hair braiding trends are minimalistic and elegant, reminiscent of her ethnic roots.
Have celebrity guys been left behind in the hair braiding wave? Not at all. Robert Trujillo’s long hair is as versatile as his bass playing for Metallica: smooth Sedu hairstyle one day for a photo shoot, three braids reminiscent of Native America the next.
The long and short of it in the world of hairstyles: Opt for some trendy hair braiding and you’ll be right on the cutting edge, where you belong.
