You don't need long hair to master the braids trend - whether you're rocking a long bob or pixie cut, there are plenty of ways to plait your short locks.

We've rounded up some of our favourite looks from beauty gurus on Instagram - click through for the full gallery...

@sarahpotempa gave us major summer hair inspiration with this elegant braided style that works on a long bob or shoulder-length hair.

Braid two small sections and use a floral hair accessory to hold in place to recreate @emmabraids' elegant boho chic style.

If your hair is too short for a full braided style, take note from @hairbyjessica_ and simply plait the front section for instant glamour - this is also a great style for those growing out a fringe.

If you can't play with your length, play with your parting! We're loving this edgy look from @hair_by_pelerossi.

Add an eye-catching twist to a low ponytail with a mohawk-style fishtail plait like the one @sarahpotempa created.

For a statement finish like @danicahair's chic style, simply braid the top section of your hair and leave the bottom half in waves.

If you're rocking a bob and want an edgy look, sweep your locks into a side parting and braid the front section - we're loving @emilyandersonstyling's look for inspiration.

Looking for festival hair inspiration? We're loving this statement plaited style by @chelswhair for a fuss-free way to get instant daytime glamour.

@disneyrita gave us major hair envy with this slightly undone dutch fishtail braid ponytail - perfect for day to night.

Mix and match different braids to get @foxonlocks' edgy style.
