Milkmaid Braid Natural Hair Style

Corporate and Curls, Fro's and Phones, who says natural hair can't be corporate? One of the most common reasons a girl won't go natural is because of her fear of not being "accepted" whether its at work or with friends and family, heck even your lover, curly hair can be both work and leisure appropriate.

This milkmaid braid inspired up-do is one of my favorite natural hairstyles to date! So simple and easy to achieve with just bobby pins and your favorite holding gel for a sleek look.

This milkmaid braid can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Add some sleek dangle earrings for more of a date night, work appropriate look and switch them out for bamboo earrings or hoops during lunch to grab a quick bite with your girls.

Whether you are looking for a quick up-do or just some inspiration this milk maid braid serves as a time saver and protective style all in one.

Tucking your ends away will prevent damage and split ends and encourage sealed ends great for color treated curls.

After reading the comments on today's tutorial, I see a lot of you rocked this hairstyle as a child! How cool is that? I thought it was only right to slip in a little throwback of mini me. Mom loved giving me little pigtails with colorful barrettes on the ends!
