Hair trends at the golden globes 2013: plaits and braids

Plaits continue to be a catwalk favourite, and provide a slightly more fashion-led option for red carpet stars with an eye on the runways.

Warren Holmes, International Creative Director at Nicky Clarke Salons gives his verdict on braids at the 2013 Golden Globes.

"Jennifer's Dior dress required nothing too structured, and keeping with the outfit trend for the evening, a clean neckline. Face on this look works well with the dress, and from the side the detailed plait and knot give her a youthful, fun edge."

"Lucy is another winner from last night. Her Carolina Herrera stole the show for me and the fishtail plaits were genius. Not too 'done' but still with enough detail, the plait brought an edge to a dress which could have consumed others. I like how she went out, took a risk and make a huge statement. It paid of massively for her."
