It may look complicated, but the Milkmaid Braid is one of the easiest summer hairdos. It’s youthful, relaxed and a chic way to keep your hair out of your face on hot summer days. Here’s how to recreate this romantic, goddess-like updo:
- Begin with a clean head of hair.
- Then, part the hair down the middle.
- Mist the hair with a heat protection spray before blow drying it straight. Try Pantene Repair & Protect Heat Defence Gloss Spray.
- Once the hair is completely dry, section it into two equal parts, spraying each part with a texturising spray. Work the product into the hair, creating texture with the fingers. Try Marc Anthony Instantly Thick High Volume Styling Spray.
- Braid each section beginning at the nape of the neck going all the way down.
- Starting one braid at a time, wrap each braid around the top of the head and secure with bobby pins.
- To keep your braid from slipping, spray the side that will be against your head with hairspray before pinning it down. Try Avon Advance Techniques Styling Finish it! Hair Spray.
- For a softer feel, leave a few stray pieces of hair sticking out.
- Finish of the look with a spritz of hairspray to keep the style in and to add shine.
