Inspired by the actress's personal “effortless” style, hair stylist Vanessa Gomez gave Jordana an undone fishtail braid by first spraying Bumble and bumble Surf Spray onto the star's wet hair before blow-drying (without a brush) to create as much texture as possible. Gomez then gave the star a deep side part and, leaving out a few front pieces, French-braided from the crown all the way down to the ends of her hair. The hair guru finished the look by teasing the end of the plait with a comb and secured the tail with a bobby pin — no elastic required.

Get ready to bump up your traditional fishtail plait with Emma’s messy, textured do. Celeb hair stylist Nikki Lee softly French-braided two sections of the actress’s hair across the back of her head in a diagonal direction. Below that, she took two more sections and knotted them together, then joined the knot and French braid together with a rubber band. To finish the look, she spritzed on Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray to hold the style in place.

This braid may just be her “crowning” style moment of the summer! Victoria sported a major plait across her forehead, leaving the rest of her locks down. To nail the look, done by hairstylist Laura Polko, simply divide hair into two sections (top and bottom). Then braid the top half from the back and bring it across your forehead, pulling at the section closest to your hairline to create a messy, undone look. Secure with pins on each side and you’re done!
