After I posted a picture of my hairstyle today on twitter, a tutorial was requested by a handful of people! I'm sure that a milkmaid braid tutorial has been done a hundred times...but I figured, why not? Why wouldn't my readers want to see an almost five-minute long video of me braiding my hair? hahah. But really, the video is kind of long but I didn't have time to make another condensed version or figure out how to speed it up. So what you see is what you get! ;)
But anyway, happy braiding! This is the easiest hairstyle ever, and looks good on just about anyone. A few tips: I think the key to nice, thick looking braids in any style is to loosen them up as demonstrated in the video. Also, at the end, don't be concerned if hair is sticking up or out- tuck and pin is my motto! Don't be afraid to use bobby pins. A messier look is better with this hairstyle, so perfection is not what you are aiming for. You don't have to have a perfect part or symmetrical braids. And one last thing- dirty hair works best! My favorite kind of hair. haha. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for giving me a new artist to look into! I loved the song. <3

ReplyDeleteI watched this last night & did it this morning for work & school :) I am the world's worst braider but I think it works! I love your facial expressions in this video, so funny!
ReplyDeletetoo bad my hair is too short to do this. i would love to see how the back of your hair look in this hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love that hairstyle. I am going to try it soon!

ReplyDeleteYou're adorable in your milkmaid braids! I am just waiting for my hair to grow so I can try it out :) thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute video! I loved when you messed up on the first braid & had to start over because right at that moment, I was thinking, "I don't think I could do this without screwing up." Haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you & I have almost the exact same hair (length, color, bangs, etc.), and I will def be trying this! Thanks for the tutorial!
super cute video!!! Im going to share it with my mommy friends :-) and Im totally going to try this today, my hair has grown so much since having Judah and it now reaches the middle of my back, Im tired of putting it in just a bun :-)

This is great! My sister has long hair AND a three month old. She was just talking about cutting her hair off, as it's starting to become a hazard, but I'm going to encourage her to just rock this hairstyle instead. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Just discovered your blog and love it.
It looks super cute on you! This used to be my favorite hairstyle, but now my hair is just way too long to wear it anymore!
ReplyDeleteLove Mirah and love this cute silent video. I would probably fill it with lots of unnecessary awkward chatter.
ReplyDeleteYou're the cutest.
I love your smile, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to give this one a try later.
ReplyDeleteOh my, such a darling video! I love the song. ♥ It looks so simple and easy, too. Thanks for showing us the how-to! ;]

ReplyDeleteThat little wave at the beginning is so, so sweet. You are just adorable. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSuper adorable! I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do this!
ReplyDeleteI do love your braids so much! makes me want to grow my hair out!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this, I have been trying to think of new ways to do my hair. :] Thank you..
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute! Now if my hair would hurry up and grow so that I could do it too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just found your blog today, and you, and all your cute tattoos, are making me want my next one even more. My tax return can't come soon enough! lol
Adorable. As soon as I saw your post on Bluebird Vintage with those braids I knew I needed to try them out!

Thank you so much for the video. I LOVE this look, but did not know how to do it. I tried it and decided my hair needs to be a little longer and maybe a few less layers, but I am going to keep trying. I love your hair - keep stylin' and sharin'.
