Zoella Inspired Milkmaid Braid

Hola Sparkly1s

A few months ago I read Zoella's milkmaid braid post.  I thought it looked like a really fun, easy way to do your hair.  Then, last month she posted her 'how to' video on YouTube.  I'm not someone who spends a lot of time on my hair and it's something I want to change.  Generally, I just leave it hanging or 'whack' it up in a pony but I thought I'd give this one a go.  

 

 I'd washed my hair in the morning and left it to dry naturally.  In Zoe's she backcombs and uses dry shampoo but all I used was blonde hair grips and mini clear elastics.

 

 

I was surprised at how easy it was for me to do.  For someone who's literally hopeless at doing her own hair I think it turned out pretty good.  My hair isn't quite as long as Zoes so my braids stopped about an inch above my ears. But that was ok as I just pinned them underneath the other braid. 

I got so many positive comments when I went out.  Everyone I know is used to seeing me with my hair left down I think it was a big shock for them.  It's definitely a style I'm going to wear again.
