7. Practise your plaits

Although flowers and sun feel faraway, don’t let winter go by by without trying a messy braid or two. ‘Plaits are everywhere this year and it’s only January,’ says Lisa Farrall, session stylist and educator from the London Hair Academy. ‘Every red carpet is featuring a braided style so in the spirit of Frozen, let it go and give in!’ The trick is to get experimental with your weaving – it’s all about the effect rather than perfection, so tease out tendrils and pull at those braids to make something unique. The Trevor Sorbie Tease Comb (£4.29, boots.com) might be a good tool to have when experimenting.
