How to do milk maid braids

Hi every one today I am going to teach you how to do this very simple easy hairstyle called " Milk Maid Braids". This style is even simpler than it looks.




Skills needed to do this hairstyle are…

- any type of braid at all it could be a very simple braid or a hard braid. You could do a 3 strand braid, fishtail like how I did, pull through braid …
-  and of course just simple dividing skills.





Level of hairstyle…

-this is a very, very simple hairstyle.




Materials needed to do this hairstyle…

- dividing comb
- spray bottle with water ( optional just tames flyaways instead of using any hair product).
- or hair prouduct ( optional )
- 2 plastic elastics 
- and a handful of bobby pins. 
- long/ middel length hair
-hairspray (optional)
-1 ponytail elastic



Steps how to so this hairstyle…

1. First brush through your hair so there are no tangles. Then divide your hair with a dividing comb into 2 equal sections. What I did is I did a left side part for about 10 cm length wise and went stright down after that. After you are done that then hold one section out of the way with a ponytail.
2. Now you can either spray the section of hair that is not in a ponytail with water or you can use some sort of product just to tame flyaways. (Optional) Or for a softer look don't use and prouduct of water at all.
3. Here is the fun part, you can do almost any type of braid with the losse section except braids that make the hair pieces shorter than the others. I did a simple fishtail braid you can do a 3 strand braid… start the braid off right behind your ear.
          

          How to do a fishtail (vauge details)
1. Divide the section of hair that you are working with into 2 equal sections. Hold one section in one hand and the other section in your other hand.
2. Then just take small sections from the outer edge side and pass it over to the inner edge side. Only do one side at a time. Countinue this process till you get to the disired length. Keep in mind that this braid dose take a bit long. (Comment down below for a video on how to do a fishtail or more in depth)

4. After you are done doing the braid all the way to the end of your hair tie it off with a plastic elastic. Repeat this to the other side too.
5. (Optional you can spray the boby pins with some hair spray to keep the boby pins stay in your hair longer.) 
6. Now twist the braid one time and flop it right on your head if that makes scence and secure the braid to your head with the boby pins wherever needed. Repeat this step with the other side but this time flop the braid and hide the ends of the other braid with the beginning of this braid and boby pin it where it needs to be pined.  After you are done that hide the new end of the braid by tucking it under the other braid. You can pull out any sections just depends on the look you are going for.
That is it now you made you very own Milk Maid Braids.

Volleyball type cornrow style


Hi everyone if you want to learn how to do this hairstyle please stick around to the end of this post. (Note to self that this hairstyle is a bit tricky because of the circular parting needed)



Skills needed…

-have to be able to do cornrows, or Dutch braids.
-be able to divide a circle pretty good.
-ponytail 
- if you want me to do a YouTube video on how to do this hairstyle either just comment down bellow asking or you can email me at cornrowsjustforme@gmail.com if you want to ask me that way too.



Level…

- medium I found the hardest part was dividing the circle.




Materials needed…

- dividing comb/ rat tail comb
-spray bottle full of water ( optional but recommended) 
- hair cream or gel to make it look neater( optional but highly recommended) 
- 8 plastic elastics
- 4 poney tails



Steps…

1. Divide a circle on top of your head near your forehead. Tie the reast of your hair off. 
2. Then divied sort of like a PAC  man shape starting from the angle of your left eyebrow then curve the dividing to the left side. Then tie the new dividing off with a pony tail. 
 


3.  Now with the hair that is not tied off, divied that section into 4 as equal sections sort of on an angle. Cornrow all 4 sections all the way to the bottom of your hair. Tie the braids off with 1 plastic elastic off.
Now tie all 4 of those braids off with an elastic togather.
5. You can now untie the pony tail  that is holding your PAC man like shape, then divied that whole section into 3 cornrow slots. Make sure to curve the braids when cornrowing. Then tie the bottom part of the braids off with plastic elastics. The overall hairstyle should look some thing like this.
You can curl the rest of your hair or just leave the hairstyle as is. Personally instead of tieing an elastic to the base of all of the braids I just weaved the 3 braids though the 4 braids, then tied the 3 elastics off; I then weaved the 4 braids through the 3 braids and tied the 4 braids off. I repeated this step all the way to the end of my hair.
