ghd technique:
Knotted Braid

Let ghd be your plait guru and learn how to create the effortless knotted braid. 

Who says braid hairstyles have to be breezy – achieve plait perfection with a knotted braid updo to keep your locks up and out the way. This style radiates ease, just work your way down the length of your hair, knotting as you go along, before rolling your braided hair up to and tucking it away. Best for those hot summer nights, this is a braided hairstyle not to be passed up on.  

Learn how to braid hair into this chic simple updo with this ghd technique video and master the knotted braid. 

Here’s how to create a knotted braid


1. Split hair into two and knot

2. Add to each section from both sides and knot again

3. Repeat knot down head and tie with elastic

4. Roll under the nape and secure with grip to create an effortless knotted braid up-do 

step one: Split hair into two and knot

Starting at the crown, split the hair to create two equal sections and create a knot with the two strands.

step two: Add to each section from both sides and knot again

Take another section of hair from both sides of the head, cross over and create another knot.

step three: Repeat knot down head and tie with elastic

Continue steps one and two down the entire head, creating knots with the sections of hair until the ends. Then secure place with an elastic tie.

step four: Roll under the nape and secure with grip

To finish the knotted braid, roll the end of the braid up to the nape and tuck underneath, using a grip to secure it in place.
