I’m always keeping an eye on the outfit trends emerging on the
street style scene during fashion month, but I also look out for
the beauty trends that are bubbling up among insiders. This season,
there is one hair
trend that is undeniably going viral among insiders: the
double-band braid. I spotted the hairstyle everywhere
from Copenhagen
and New York to Milan and Paris, and it’s only been picking up
steam among the fashion set.

The hairstyle is created by pulling hair back to the low part of
the neck (either slicked back or parted in the middle), tying a
simple braid, and then securing two hair bands—one at the end of
the hair and another at the nape of the neck. Hence, the
double-brand braid, as I’m calling it. Ahead, see how
insiders are wearing the chic hairstyle and shop beauty essentials
to try the look for yourself. I know I’ll be wearing it myself
this fall.

One
cool way to wear it: with hair ties in a contrasting color.

Insiders
have been wearing the style low at the nape of their necks.

Add
a serum to your hair to mimic this radiant shine.

Tina
Kunakey is proving just how versatile this hairstyle is.

Here,
see how to wear the double-band braid with a middle part.

Or
instead, try it with slicked-back hair that is swept to the
back.

Pernille
Teisbaek is one of the fashion insiders helping to put this
hairstyle on the map.

Thick
hair ties are an essential for the double-brand braid.

You
can try matching them to your hair color.

Or
opt for a different shade as a detail.

Use
a styling oil to make hair super shiny.

Or
opt for a cream that will combat frizz if you hair flyaways.

Use
a comb to define a middle part.

Then,
brush back hair using a boar-brustle brush.

Set
the look using a strong hold hairspray.

Touch
up your ends with a smoothing oil.

If
you want to repeat the look the next day, use a restyling spray
like this one from Oribe.

fall trends I’m 100% behind and how I’m wearing them.
