How gorgeous is this boho-inspired party hairstyle? Not only is it stunning and a lovely change from your normal look, but it's so simple to recreate at home yourself. If you feel stuck in a rut when it comes to making your hair party-presentable and you're up for trying someting new, this lovely beehive look will have you ready for your party in no time at all! And because we know how tricky it can be to get to grips with a new style, we've included step-by-step instructions to guide you through this pretty look. 

This relaxed and feminine 'do is a modern take on the Sixties beehive, updated using loose waves and a delicate fishtail braid. The best bit? This hairstyle will work amazingly well for both day and night! It'll keep your hair out of your face during the day, then when you're ready to party, simply add a little shine spray, and you'll be ready! 

What you will need

  • Volumising product
  • Large barrel tong
  • Comb
  • Thin bobble or clear elastic 
  • Shine spray

Step 1

Curl...

Add a volumising product, like L'Oreal Professional tecni art volume riche (£10.80), to the roots to give them a boost. Divide the hair into large sections and tong with a large barrel tong.

Step 2

Backcomb...

Take a horseshoe section from around the crown and gently tease the hair with a fine comb for extra volume - go as big as you dare!

Step 3

Section...

Take one-inch-sized pieces from one side of the horseshoe section and split into two.

Step 4

Plait...

Cross the hair one section over the other to create the fishtail braid, adding hair from the top only. Repeat on the other side.

Step 5

Secure...

Secure the plaits together using a thin bobble or clear elastic halfway between the crown and the base of the neck. Tease the plait gently with your fingers and brush through the curls to make it look loose and undone.

Step 6

And done!
