How To: Milkmaid Braid

Hello Trenders and Happy Wednesday! Woop Woop, Hump Day!
This summer has been quite the steamy one down in the south, and all I have wanted to do is pull my hair up off of my neck. Even though braids and ponytails can be done, a new up-do is fun every once in a while. Therefore on today's "How To", I am going to be teaching you how to accomplish what is known as the Milkmaid Braid. Even though it sounds different, this hairstyle has been easily spotted this season. 

This is what you will need:
  • Hairbrush
  • 2 to 6 Bobby Pins
  • 2 Thin Ponytail Holders or Clear Elastics
This unique and summery look can be accomplished in just six easy steps.
  1. Brush out all of your hair until you are free of tangles and knots.
  2. Split hair into two sections.
  3. Braid both sections in simple braids all the way to the bottom of the hair piece.
  4. Take one section, wrap it over the top of your head, and pin it into place.
  5. Repeat the process with the other braid. Make sure the elastics and pins are hidden within the braids for a cleaner look.
  6. Lastly, to personalize the look, add a bow, a headband, or pull out pieces of hair for a messy style.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Comment down below if you try this braid. 
XOXO,
