Heidi_braid Why, buy one,of course! Forget fiddling around trying to plait your own hair around your head (which is not very possible unless you have hair to rival Rapunzel's), and buy in your braids from hothair.co.uk (who also sell those Jessica Simpson extensions we were so enamoured of). Catwalk Queen have given heidi plaits a thumbs up on their first ever hot or not - so get in there now before everyone else. They're less than a tenner and come in seven shades so you can get an almost-perfect match to your own locks.
