Milkmaid Braids With No Parting | Quick Tutorial

[@amandateoh1164]

This is perfect because I can finally stop worrying the whole day about whether I parted my hair evenly and people are judging 🙃

[@opalfishsparklequasar8663]

When you get older,
you'll realise no one cares about your hair.
It will be very freeing.

[@6WaysFromNextWed]

@@opalfishsparklequasar8663 A senior came up to me at church and said "I'm always so happy to see your hair! It makes me realize my hair doesn't have to be perfect, either." Oof. There's always that one who does care. The hard part is learning not to live for that person's approval.

[@misssmisssymaria]

I’ve stared at people’s wonky parts, not because I’m judging, but because I’m realizing that I’m not the only one who’s imperfect.

[@kinga80801]

i always have an uneven parting and I don't care it really doesn't matter that much

[@sometimessnarky1642]

A) you can always do a deliberately uneven parting.
B) you can use a hand mirror to check your part before you braid to see that it's even.

[@markii1209]

The crossed braids are a look themselves

[@sabaripaulmajumder5196]

Yeah... but they look a bit weird

[@MamaMOB]

I think they look awesome to be honest

Why did I not think of this before. Thank you. Tomorrow is sorted.

[@WomanTakenBytheWind]

Okay this looks WAY easier than all the other methods I’ve seen. I am definitely going to try this. You have no idea how refreshing it is to see a tutorial that works for long hair and doesn’t have 30 steps in it. Can’t wait for try it!

[@mjlCrane]

This is a game-changer! I also do not like the parting in the back, and I can never get the bumps near your ears (from the braids being folded upwards) to look even. This solves all of those issues

[@selkieslipskin]

The bumps were the part that bothered me most, so this is great!

[@thatgrumpychick4928]

I've wanted to find a neat and tidy hairstyle for everyday wear and for housework that wasn't 50 steps or stupid messy looking.
This is such an awesome style I'm going to try in the morning ☺️

[@mousebones3258]

My great grandmother wore her hair like this and I've never been able to figure it out. Thank you

[@mearkat1313]

Damn, why did I have to cut off all of my hair during quarantine

[@JulieWallis1963]

Cosmo the Pug I don’t know! why did you “have to cut off all your hair” ? Head lice?

julie Wallis The boredom was real, but it worked out 👍 Long hair was doin nothing for me

[@shannlob]

Same. I haven't updated my photo.

[@lisahenry20]

I've been considering whether to cut my hair shorter but I always decide against it because I know I'll regret it when I can't do certain hairstyles

[@katbee8120]

I will definitely try this. My hair is hip length so when I usually do milkmaid braids I end up looking more like Cersei Lannister than some fresh danced girl coming out of a barn with the family’s daily portion of milk. I hope this works!

[@lisaj1622]

My hair is now below my butt and I don't now how to make the braids stay up on my head when I try milkmaid braids because they are too heavy😭

[@FridaCrescencia]

@@lisaj1622 you could try putting a thin ribbon through a tapestry needle and carefully sew them on (obviously not through the skin but only through the hair). It´s an antique/medieval way of securing your hair and works very well on heavy braids in my experience. I know that I had seen this technique on youtube, but don´t know how it´s called anymore, so i can´t lead you towards tutorials sadly.

[@lisaj1622]

@@FridaCrescencia thank you! Yes I've seen that method on CZcams too, I need to look into buying one of those needles and try it

[@katbee8120]

@Lisa J I tried and they slid down my head. I do like this technique though because it keeps a lot of the bulk towards the back of my head. I’m definitely going to try the ribbon though. Hopefully that works.

[@katbee8120]

@FridaCrescencia I never would have thought of that so thank you for the tip! I have always loved the look of ribbon weaving through braids but had never thought of the practical reasons for it. I’m definitely going to try it.

[@neytirixander4532]

I wear 14th to 17th century renaissance garments every day but I have thin long hair and struggle with finding period hair styles that look good on me, as parting my hair looks awful. This is an amazing alternative and I use this style all the time now! 🧡 Thank you so much! I love your videos, your always a great inspiration.

[@CoasterJaney54]

Thank you, from a "fellow flat-headed lady"! It's always a struggle when you think you've mastered a cute hairstyle, then you look at it from the side and realise it isn't so cute after all, hahaha :D

[@SairWithTheHair]

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who dislikes the look of a parting in the back! At the front is fine but the back looks a bit unfinished to me with the parting visible. I do it this way too and it's a little change that makes it look a lot better in my opinion.

[@meinkanta]

I don’t think this looks any better (personally). I don’t like the big bump at the base of the braids which you don’t get if they start on the side because you can smooth it over. Maybe that could be remedied with more careful placement.

[@chloro8306]

@@meinkanta what bump?

[@idastreeto6131]

I have such trouble parting my hair evenly in the back, so this is helpful to avoid a messy part too lol

[@HimynameisAverie]

There's also another way to do this (if a little more complicated)! Basically, you make a Dutch braid that wraps all the way around your head, picking up all the hair as you go. You start behind one ear, braid up to the forehead, then down and around. Once you make it back to the ear, you wrap the length of the braid on top of the messy bit, and pin it to the top of your head! I've never mastered it, but when you know what you're doing, it looks great. 😂

[@horstp.7995]

I always try it the same way. It‘s easily very messy

[@Loepsie]

Ah yes, the classic crown braid 😄 I used to do that a lot in the early days of my CZcams channel, but I'm not sure I could do it anymore haha

[@nobody1k]

I've also seen a tutorial for ladies with shorter hair in which she made 4 braids, 2 front, 2 back, and wrapped them strategically so that it appeared to be this style.

[@claudiamirandola1305]

Thats what I do, my hair is not long enough for this hahha

[@Brenna_Ellie]

It also hurts your arms like hell

[@Exactpie1]

I don't know why I've never done this. It's such a logical fix. Thanks for spiffing up my braids!

[@FrozenGuineaPig]

I have an undercut and this method might help me avoid that weird gap that I get when I attempt to do this style normally. Thank you for making this video!

[@selkiemorien9006]

I alway did that, when my hair was longer, never called them Milkmaid braids though, but "fake crown braid". Now that my hair is just below shoulder lenght I tried Milkmaid braids for the first time ever because my hair doesn't reach around anymore. So this is unfortunately not an option for me at the moment. But it sure looks pretty! :D

[@rivertam7827]

My hair won't even grow long enough to do this style and I'm too uncoordinated to do a crown braid :'( lol

[@MochaHammy]

Hair extensions!!!!!
Bam problem solved

[@BookishBelle]

This is genius. I’ve been doing milkmaid braids forever and I’m definitely going to adopt this version.

[@nataliakurowska3413]

Thank you for this tutorial. I had struggled with this updo, you show it clearly. From 2 days im wearing it and love it ❤

[@Liz-ts5km]

This was actually helpful. I never thought of that.

[@Ebooola]

Yeaaaah, I have long thin hair and I really don't like it when my scalp show off when I style them! Thank you for this video, I can become reconciled with milk braids then. :D

[@squeakymcsqueaky9931]

Oh that is such an easy and useful suggestion! I love milkmaid braids but always have this issue. Thank you for the video! 😄

You just changed the game. I've never worn milk maid braids out because I hate the back parting. You win a cookie! 🍪

Thank you! I've been watching your videos for just a few weeks and I really like your tutorials. They're calm and simple, easy to follow. I've got hair similar to yours, with a bit more length that I have no clue what to do with. I've been wearing it plaited for decades and only just now I'm starting to actually style it. I'd been struggling with this hairstyle, so you uploaded this at the right time for me!

[@katiedidnt315]

This is perfect!! I have lock it extentions and if I were to part my hair, you'd see the wefts, not cute and very limiting for hairstyles. But I can adapt this and do all kinds of braid styles. I feel ridiculous for not thinking of this myself. So elegantly simple!!

[@AnumWaseem]

GENIUS. it also avoids the awkward bump in your braid when you braid downwards and flip up!
