SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Intricate braids<\/a> have been a mainstay in beauty for centuries, but their widespread popularity naturally fluctuates with the era. As we’ve seen both on Instagram and the red carpet, XXL braids have\u00a0 been trailing the spines of some of the world’s most influential style names for several seasons. Now we’ve seen them at the first in-person fashion week since the pandemic \u2013 more specifically, swinging down Mariam Seddiq’s buoyant Afterpay Australian Fashion Week<\/a> show.<\/p>\n

These aren’t your average braids, however. The show’s hair director and Davroe Ambassador, Madison Voloshin, created an artful four-way braid that feels like an elevated take on the playful bubble braids<\/a> we’ve seen on the likes of Gigi Hadid recently. Here Voloshin breaks down the (outwardly) complex style for GRAZIA<\/em>, so that even the uninitiated can recreate it at home.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What was the inspiration for the hair looks at Mariam Seddiq this season?<\/b><\/p>\n

Madison Voloshin:<\/strong> Choosing to challenge the traditional beauty standards, Mariam hand-selected the models walking in her show with one thing in mind \u2013 diversity. Selecting models of different races, nationalities, and sizes, we aspired to capture a look that best reflected Mariam\u2019s beliefs about choosing a hairstyle to complement.<\/p>\n

Praised for its signature forms and architectural silhouettes, Collection Cerulean is a kaleidoscopic collection of sculptural pr\u00eat-\u00e0-couture<\/em> couture that is synonymous with Mariam Seddiq \u2013 a personal expression of her own culture and experiences, highlighting structured tailoring, fluid drapery and masterful hand embellishment. A \u2018four way\u2019 braid was the perfect complement to the new collection \u2013 elegant, artful, real.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What products were tasked with prepping the hair for such an intricate style?<\/b><\/p>\n

MV:<\/strong> As is key with most hairstyles, prepping your hair before you braid it is vital. Brushing plays an integral part in this process, conditioning the hair for styling. As we created these subtle yet intrinsic braids on a range of hairstyles, a Mason Pearson brush<\/a> was a must-have for the Davroe styling team. Utilizing boar bristle and nylon tufts, the Mason Pearson brush is perfect for tackling both normal hair and thicker hair that can be harder to manage hair.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Talk us through each step of how you achieved such an elaborate braid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MV:<\/strong>All\u00a0Davroe<\/a> products, starting with\u00a0Davroe BVT<\/a>\u00a0 foam \u2013 which is typically used to add volume, but in this case, we used it to flatten down the hair and add a subtle clean shine. When plaiting the hair, we used Davroe FORMATION<\/a>\u00a0to hold the hair together and added the same\u00a0Davroe Brilliance Shine Mist<\/a>. Davroe Shine Mist was also used for the baby hairs at the front to give it a windswept look. And finished off with\u00a0Davroe COMPLETE hairspray.<\/a><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What’s the secret to nailing a detailed braid like this one?<\/b><\/p>\n

MV: <\/strong>The styling options are endless when it comes to braids. However, to create a perfect braid, good products and practice are essential! For more detailed and complicated braids, like the round plait we created for Mariam Seddiq, finding a friend to help you manage the strands and pull the hair tight is important! Four strands of hair can get messy otherwise!<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Besides having a willing friend on hand, what are your best tips for getting the look at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

MV:<\/strong> A braided hairstyle is a simple, easy way to let your creativity shine through at home! Whether you are using your own natural locks, adding extensions, or mixing it up with a style like the four-way, braids are low maintenance, long-lasting and super easy to replicate! Best of all, they are a wash day style \u2013 while it may seem working with fresh, clean hair would be the way to go, braiding works better in dirty hair! The added natural oil from day-old hair helps to hold the look in place.<\/p>\n

Before you get to braiding, there are four key items you need: a mirror, a comb, styling products and a toothbrush – for those pesky baby hairs!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prep your hair<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Pull hair into style \u2013 high or low ponytail<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Part hair into sections<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Split part into three pieces<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Begin braiding.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Repeat until all your sections are one beautiful, thick braid<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Shop the look<\/span><\/p>\n
