French Plait

What a French plait appointment includes

A tailored braid that looks balanced, feels comfortable, and holds well.

• Quick consultation on placement, parting and the finish you want
• Light detangling and sectioning for an even, tidy pattern
• Controlled tension for a secure braid without unnecessary pulling
• Finishing touches to smooth flyaways and improve hold

Who a French plait is best for

A French plait suits most lifestyles and works particularly well when you need your hair controlled.

• Everyday wear when you want a tidy, low-maintenance style
• Sport, commuting and long shifts where hair needs to stay put
• Events when you want a simple, polished look without heat styling
• Hair that is prone to frizz or tangling, as it keeps strands contained

How the styling is delivered

Your hair is prepped and divided into clean sections, then braided close to the scalp by adding hair evenly as the plait forms. The braid is secured and refined so it sits neatly and feels comfortable.

If your hair is very short, heavily layered, or very silky, your stylist will adjust the technique and placement to improve grip and keep the braid looking tidy.

Aftercare and how to make it last

To keep the plait looking fresh, avoid heavy oils at the roots and minimise repeated brushing over the braid. For sleeping, a soft scrunchie at the end and a light wrap or satin pillowcase can reduce frizz. If it loosens, a quick re-tie at the ends and a light mist of water can help smooth and reset the finish.
