Is This The Coolest Braid Style Ever?

Fishtail braids, move over! There's a new braid in town and it's seriously stylish and seriously cool... 

We're talking about the pipe braid!

The creation of celebrity fashion hair stylist and makeup artist Nicci Welsh, it's filling up Instagram fast, and we think it's only a matter of time before it spills out of internet-land and blesses us with its beauty in the real world!

Over in the northern hemisphere it's being touted as the must-have festival hairstyle - and we can see why! It's bohemian, free-spirited, totally divine - and it can be styled to keep your hair off your neck on those hot drippy festival days and nights. But we think this style is far too fab for just a festival. It deserves to be walking down streets, up wedding aisles, in supermarkets - worn on the daily, anywhere and everywhere!

What's especially rocking our world is that this look is new! We see trends recycled all the time, as is fashion and beauty's way. But for a look we've not seen before to appear before our eyes? Swoon! It turns out Nicci spent weeks perfecting this style after being inspired by an image - and we're so glad she did!

So is the pipe braid a look you and I could manage? You bet it is! If you're nimble of fingers and can follow a YouTube tutorial then you too can rock a pipe braid! Check the tutorial below:

Now, do tell... are you here for the pipe braid? Will you be giving it a go? Or will you be sticking to other styles? Chat away!

That's beautiful, I only wish I could do it but no chance of that. I can only just do a french braid.

It looks really cool, but It will take me every to try this out

25th April, 2018

Anyone try it?

25th April, 2018

I like it I'm not good at doing my hair though

Love it! Would love to try it on my 5 year old daughter, but she hates putting her hair up and moans about it being sore the whole time, so probably not worth it :)

So clever and gorgeous, I wish I had long hair.

Ooh this looks good but too difficult for me!

Looks nice but I have a hard time mastering braids other than basic french braids or dutch braids and I think my hair would a knotted mess attempting it. Personally I like the look of fishtail and waterfall braids better.

Holy macaroni! That looks hard. I wish I could pull that off. I can only do a french plat.

I looooove this look!! I am not at all skilled in hair-ups, but I would totally ask a stylist to do this for me

17th April, 2018

Huh, looks a little too much like a hay rope for my taste, and I can just imagine it falling apart in my hair.

17th April, 2018

Not even going to try looks cool though wish I had a personal hairdresser lol

17th April, 2018

I don't have the patience for braids but if someone wants to do it for me i'm all for it!

Looks cool but fiddly and can imagine the knots afterwards.
