BEAUTY BAR: Milkmaid Braid

During the summertime, the heat can really take a toll on your hair. You can find yourself sweating doing the simplest tasks and all you want to do is get your hair as far away from your face as possible. If you have thick hair, the heat can make your beautiful mane look like a giant rats’ nest! Also, if you have thinner hair and gets greasy easily, all you can think is “I swear I showered this morning!” Having your hair look clean and under control over the summer is not easy, but this Fashionista definitely conquered this task.

This milkmaid braid inspired hairstyle looks effortless while put together. If these tight braids are not going anywhere while she works out, they aren’t going anywhere in the scorching heat either. I also love how the exciting back of her tank top brings attention to her intricate braids. This look can be worn in the day time and even right into the night time. As the day goes on, they will become looser and have a more carefree vive to them. The messier the better!

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? I asked this Fashionista how she achieved this look and she said, “I’ve been wearing my hair like this all day! Honestly I just wanted to hide my greasy hair while I was out. My braids are actually very easy to recreate. They are just two french braids starting from my part and gathered it in a messy bun.” So what do you really need to recreate this look? All you need is a little practice and some dirty hair! If you need to add a little more texture for your hair, add a few spays of scrunching product and secure with a little bit of hairspray.
