In this video, I show you how I achieve one of my favourite protective styles. This faux milkmaid braid style is perfect for people like me who l o v e the milkmaid braid "look" but don't KNOW or WANT to cornrow :)

What I love most about this look is that it's super cute and easy to do. Too, after I rock this updo for 2-3 days I then unravel my braids and wear a simple yet defined braid out for a couple more days!!

So I go from protective style (milkmaid braids) to low manipulation style (braid out) without the need of combs, direct heat, excessive manipulation etc. It really gives my hair a break. It's a win/win for me!

I love jazzing up this style with a few gold hair accessories. I get them from the Beauty Supply Store for $1-2. I don't know what it is, but there's just something about GOLD bobby pins that I just love! It really enhances your styles in such a simple way! Love it.

Anyways, check out the video below on how I achieve this look :)


Thanks for watching!
