Milkmaid Braid Tutorial

Happy Monday!

To start off the week Leah is going to explain how to do the Milkmaid Braid Hair Style. It is easy, looks fancy and is perfect for a dinner party, wedding or whenever you feel the need to bust out the braids!

Milkmaid Braid How To:

If you are doing this hairstyle on yourself, you might feel a slight tingly in your arms. Take breaks :)

    

           
Step One: Part the hair down the middle. You are going to be doing an inside out braid, Or they are also called a Dutch braid.  (if you need to learn how click this link: inside out braid ) Start the braid an inch above the nape of the neck. You don't want to start right at the bottom as it will be tricky to pick up the hair.

Step Two: Starting with one side of the hair, braid the hair upwards, and as you braid guide the hair in a crown formation. If the ends or layers are falling out, that's ok as messy is in! Secure a small elastic at the end of the braid.

Step Three: Do the same with the other side of the hair.

Step Four: Cross the braids over the top.

Step Five: If the hair is thick and poufs up, push it back with the braid. Using bobby pins, fix the braids in place. To secure the ends, tuck them under the beginning of the braid if hair is long, or if the hair is shorter, anywhere under the braid. Pull out a few strands if you want to make it a bit messy.

          

 There you go! If you want to jazz it up, add a headband or a sparkly clip.
