For most of my adult life, I wore my hair cropped short in a pixie cut. While I loved wearing my hair short, I was always jealous of all the different styles available to long-haired girls.
So I finally decided to grow my hair out, and experience the magic of long, tumbling mermaid hair for myself! But now that I finally have hair long enough to style, I find that I’m always way too lazy to try any of the awesome hair tutorials that I used to obsess over.
In fact, most days, I just throw my hair back into a ponytail or a bun. If I’m feeling really ambitious, I might use this sock bun technique the night before to give my hair a little extra curl, but that’s pretty much as complicated as I get.
Mostly, it’s because every time I decide to try out an awesome tutorial from Pinterest, I get intimidated and end up abandoning the project. That’s why I was psyched when I finally found a gorgeous braided hairstyle that looks elaborate, and is actually so simple to create!
It’s a pretty and classic “milkmaid” braid, perfect for channeling your inner Heidi — and for turning heads with its casual charm. Best of all, this clever hair hack takes just minutes to make. All you need are bobby pins and clear hair ties!
And if you can’t wait to try out this cute hairstyle, please SHARE on Facebook for every other girl looking for a fresh way to put her hair up!
