Stacey Solomon delights fans as she reveals clever trick behind her 'cheaters' French plait

Stacey Solomon has revealed how she manages to style her hair into a perfect French plait thanks to a clever hack.

The Loose Women presenter, 33, took to Instagram today to share her tips and tricks with her loyal followers - posting an instructional step-by-step guide video showing fans how to copy her "cheaters plait".

Viewers dubbed the nifty hack "lifechanging" and "amazing" in the comment section underneath the post and vowed to try the former X Factor contestant's method themselves.

Captioning the tutorial this afternoon, Stacey penned: "Plait Hack. Ok so I did my cheaters plait this morning and LOADS of you keep asking me to show you how I do it again as it disappeared from my story so I thought I’d just chuck it on here. I really hope this makes sense and helps.

"Tag a friend who needs his. I used to actually get upset about how rubbish I am at braids - especially when thinking of doing my girls hair when they’re older."

Stacey's followers certainly appreciated the hair hack tutorial, with one telling the star: "Oh I love this! I have never been able to do these on myself."

"Okay this has changed my life," another added, as a third another shared: "Going to show my son he’s got 4 and 3 year old girls with long hair. This is genius."

One of the star's followers joked: "This looks so easy but I'll definitely mess mess it up somehow."

Stacey, who tied the knot with former EastEnders actor Joe Swash last year, went on to share the video to her Instagram Stories and added: "I hope this helps and explains it properly. Happy fake plaitting."
