Last month I did a makeover story with Kelsie and had many requests for a maiden braid tutorial. Yesterday she came in and we photographed these simple step by steps. Kelsie has extremely long and thick hair, but anyone with shoulder length or longer can do these braids (see my photo below for an example).
Steps 1-2: Braid two strands on each side of a center part.
Steps 3-5: Wrap braids around the crown of your head and pin in place with one pin each.
Step 6: Arrange braids so that they cover the front of your head like a headband. Pin into place more securely until you feel comfortable.
Steps 7-8: Pull the rest of the hair into a ponytail and pin it into a cute messy bun. Note: This step is optional. You can also wear your hair down like my photo below.
Step 9: Add final pins and spray. Enjoy!

Does your hair have to be very long for this style to work. Mine is right at shoulder length. I love this style.
🙂
Loving that look so much!!
Those braids are so pretty…i don’t think i could do them myself though! I hope you are having a lovely Sunday!
xoxo~meg

I so need to grow my hair out. I miss braids!!
CUUUUUTE! Now I just need to grow out my hair so I can try this out 😉

This is a gorgeous look. It looks like it might require an extra set of hands, but definetely worth a little extra effort.
I hope my hair is long enough to try these!!! 😀

Thank you so much, I was wondering how you did this hair style!
Wow, these look beautiful. I wish I was more adventurous with my hairstyles!!
Would love to try this. Bet you get serious arm-ache doing it on yourself though!!
MAN FOLLOWS trouble to prepare a hair. WHEN Seen braid and place over the head then there remains the UP AND LOOK NESMUKI. Maybe YOU CAN Add Video Clips to prepare a HOW AS HAIR?
I have a trouble to make my hair in that style. When I put braid over the head then there remains un and look terrible. Maby you can put video how to make that hair style??
Cute idea! I’ll have to try this! :]
It’s a very nice hairstyle ! ♥

I’ve tried to do the “Heidi” braids before..can’t get them to really feel secure; any tips?
Hi Elsa! Would you be able to write a post where you link to a bit of shopping pages, that is a little bit vintage – like yours ^^ Thanks for a great blog!
Oh lord. I wish I had the skills to do this hair for myself. I need to practice!

great tutorial. i think i’m going to try this today!
whenever i come to your blog i instantly feel more inspired to work on something creative. thanks 🙂
THANK YOU!!! I SO needed this tutorial! 🙂

I can not wait for my hair to grow out long enough to do things like this 🙂 Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I wore this look last week for the first time since I was a girl. It looked great but think it looks better on longer hair like Kelsie, that really is some lovely hair she’s got! I also had some aching shoulders afterwards 🙁
I WAY do not have enough hair for this. I love the look, though. Well done!
love this! i’ve been doing my hair in milkmaid braids which is essentially the same, but with only two braids, not four. love this though! looks so pretty!
Thanks for sharing, I love this style!

I can barely manage a solitary braid, but I love your tutorial! Might just have to play around with my wee girl’s hair today! :>
Thanks a million elsie… just last night I was thinking about a new do and maiden braids didn’t even cross my mind! Will definitely be trying this 🙂

Love this Elsie! I’m so excited to try it! Thank you!
So cute! Your blog is one of my favorites.
LOVELY! LOVELY!
I have to try that! 🙂
AMAZING!
Eee! I truly love maiden braids and I will always looks at posts and pictures that have them, I can’t help it.
BUT, I can’t wear maiden braids because my hair is too thick. I know, I know, there’s worse things in life to cry about. Barely.
However, I’ve never seen or tried to do multiple braids on each side to accompany a messy bun. I think this would solve my problem and I’m really excited! I’ll try this out in a few days… when my hair is a little dirtier 😉
Thanks, Elsie!!

I love this! I cannot wait to try it! SO cute!
this is so wonderful! recently cut my long hair…kind of regretting it at this point. Thanks for the tutorial!
Looks like I’ve got a new hair style to rock tomorrow – thanks ladies 🙂 x
I’m going to try that first thing tomorrow! Thanks!
i’ve been doing this hairstyle for a while now–it’s so pretty and easy. i love it with the hair down.
yayyyy! I’ve been hoping you would do this for a while – SO CUTE. must do!
Cute! I might have to try this!
Nicole
So pretty! I have been looking for some super cute things to do with my hair and I will definitely be trying this!
Gosh she has such thick hair, don’t think it would work on me…
Oh, my kingdom for thick hair!!
Wow, that’s one braid I would definitely try–if I had longer hair.
Love this look!! But my hair is super fine & I don’t think it will work 🙁
I’ll have to settle for admiring yours! x
Thank you for the tutorial! I’m definitely going to have to try this, since my hair is now shoulder-length. I love the thought of having braids for a headband. 🙂
Also Elsie, has anyone ever told you that you look like Minnie Driver? And I mean that in the best way possible!
So pretty! I really need to start wearing different hairstyles. Thanks for the tips 🙂
love how all the braids are piled onto each other – so pretty! thanks for the tutorial – i can’t wait to try it…as long as my hair is long enough!
This is bloody amazing. Especially with those glasses.
So, so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!
Wow….those are some gorgeous braids…..I think I might try it:)
Stop by and say Hello:)
I’m a new IFB Links ala Mode Editor♥
this is awesome!! thanks so much for posting this! will definitely be sporting this hairstyle this summer.
so pretty! i have a pixie cut, though : ) no braids for me!
This looks gorgeous on the both of you. Wish I knew how you kept it from looking too Kirsten Larson, though, because my attempt…not so successful! (Maybe it helps to have bangs?) Great tutorial though.
My hair needs to grow longer so I can try this!
http://slackandlack.blogspot.com/
I used to do this when I was around 10, and I would stick daisies into the braids. I miss having long hair 🙁
I love love this hairstyle! I cannot wait until my hair is long enough to do this!
I requested this from you…….THANK YOU!!!!! You’re awesome!!!
Thanks ! This is wayyyy easier than the way I was doing it !
I am a genius at 3 hair styles, this is not one of them. So glad you posted!
this is SO cute! i love it! i’m in the process of growing my hair out, but i can’t wait to play with braids when it gets longer 🙂
Wow, thank you for this!!
Love this look! Going to try it out in the next days!
I love this! thank you so much for posting this. I’ve trying to look for something like this that didn’t need to have my hair french braided.

This makes me wish I had long hair.
Maiden Braids are great and they always look pretty!! In love~~
http://memoriesofgirlhood.com
YAY! Finally something different to do with my long curly hair! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I’m definitely going to have to try this one.
It took me a few trial runs, but I love this look on myself, too. Everyone I ran into yesterday was freaking out over it. My hair isn’t quite as thick, but it is SO long and I’m glad I have something new to do with it. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tute. But. I have about half as much hair because it’s so thin. I thought I was doing this all wrong, but I think the awfulness of my hair is the problem.
I love this!
http://theimpossiblegirl.blogspot.com
thank you for the post! imgonna try!!!
oh this is great!! A few more inches and I’ll be able to do this!!
AHHH!!! I love it! I needed something new to do to my hair. this is it!
Any ideas on how to do this without fringe? I love how this looks, I just don’t want to chop my hair to make fringe for it…
I wore my hair like this today and it was very fun! I surprised a lot of people at the office with the look! Thanks.
pretty!!

I LOVE this!!! Thanks so much for the step-by-step – I love trying out new ‘dos 😉

Tried and FAILED. Either my hair is too thick (my hairdresser has noted that my bangs alone equal a whole head of hair) or my head is too small. I think I’ll just have too stick with one braid on each side half up half down. I always worry that my hair will fall out though (so thick and heavy). In any event I had fun trying. Great post! I look forward to further exploring your blog.
I always wanted to wear those braids, like they do in Switzerland.
Now I only need to let my hair grow & shave my beard very well.

Tried it this morning! Thanks for a fabulous tutorial. You can have a peek here… http://plixi.com/p/84507255
Thanks for this post!! When I saw the braids on the original post, I really wanted to know how to do the hairstyle and now I know! It’s so beautiful!
oooh, i’m going to have to try this!
What a beautiful post – love all the photos!
I definitely tried this and it looked fabulous!!! Thanks for the idea!!!
This is great! I love these styles but always end up with a rat’s nest and sore arms…the photos help! Off to try again – thanks!!
jo@everydayjuju
I just have a question…how do you make the braids so there’s no “pill”…like when you pull the braids over your head, will there be bump because the braids want to go the opposite direction still? Do you have to braid them upwards to begin with? Or do you take the braids all the way around the head? Beautiful style on these models.
This braid is absolutely adorable. Once my hair grows, I will try this out as soon as possible.
Thanks, such a nice hair style, i like it well and will try ASAP. Thanks.
love it. i do this style on myself and my daughter 🙂 she loves them too
This tutorial was great!!!
I have medium-long thick hair and this hairstyle was a huge hit! I got loads of compliments and it was way easy to do myself, Thanks a bunch!!!
I like it, but i cannot do like that! http://bit.ly/gwK2ug
Hipster hair!
Very Pretty, but more than that, that style feels so full of character. I’m a guy, so I can’t really use that for my own style, but I appreciate its complexity, and the end result is slightly hypnotizing.
I tried this but it doesn’t seem to work as well without a fringe :

Braids are perfect for those who have long hairs. It is stylish, and it makes girls look fab! Girls out there will be very much pleased to view this post. Many of them would be doing this at home, and they’ll probably like the outcome. This one’s easy to do! A little of a personal retouch, such as clips or ribbons, can also add more style to this braid. Just always be creative.
love it! Might try it out for my thesis reading tonight! =)
This is such a great tutorial. These braids are adorable!!
What a gorgeous site! Absolutely lovely and very inspirational!
Love C x
Wonderful tutorial! I love it. I think this is a classic style that should never go out.
i love this hairstyle, but i couldnt do it when i tried it on myself. my hair is very long and thick. its down to my waist. but i just couldnt figure out how to do it correctly and i really would love to figure it out. maybe you can put up videos of how to do it 🙂 i really do love this hairstyle
this is soo cute im in love with this style
That is so adorable, I wish Abby’s hair was long.
Woooooow wonderful hair style looking so gorgeous
How would this work for someone without bangs? My hair’s too frizzy in front to ever be able to pull them off 🙁
I don’t have bangs, so I left out a piece in the front until the end, then french braided that across the front, and pinned it around the other braids at the same place as the ends of them are pinned. It turned out really nicely, and blends great.
This is soo cute! I attempted it and I kind of failed. I just did four smaller braids because my hair is no where NEAR this thick. It was such a fun style and something I will definitely try again 🙂
very pretty I would like to try this.
Wish I could do this look. My hair is extremely long, but also very thin. So if I did the first look, it would most likely look strange and flat, and the second look would make it seem like i had no hair. -_-;
i saw this hair style and by the end of the day i had done at least 20 peoples hair this way!! They all love it and so do I 😀 Thank you for putting up the tips!
I’m SO trying this! My hair is super long!
Thanks for the amazing tutorial!

Amazing, I took braiding in cosmetology in 1984 and wow, this looks easier than what they taught me.
Nice tutorial, but I just wish i had that long hairs 🙁
I really want to do this for my sister’s wedding, and i wanted to know how long your hair has to be for it to work because my hair isn’t as long as the girl in the picture’s is?
That looks amazing!
Ha! Oh my, I LOVE this! One of my absolute favorite movies, featured in such a neat way on one of my favorite blogs:

I wore this style to college, thanks to your tutorial! 🙂 It’s such a pretty style! I really like your blog! 🙂
I’m a sucker for braids! This is definitely a go-to style when in need of a creative hair pick-me-up!

Thanks for this tutorial. I really loved your posts since then. Specially this one,I’m gonna try this one to my niece because she has longer hair than mine. Thanks again.
Feel affection for how all the braids are pile on top of every one supplementary – so sweet! thankfulness for the lesson – i humbug stop to try it…as extensive as my tresses is lengthy a sufficient amount!
This is so adorable! I wish my hair was long enough for me to try this.
So cute and unique! Can’t wait to get this look right and wear it during fall.
I love this style but when I pull the braids over my crown, there’s a big bump on the side from the braids, right above my ear. How do I fix this?
o wow I’ve tried so many times, and this isn’t working for me, but i think it may be because I’m hair illiterate and mines longer than hers lol
i could never figure out how to do think myself. thanks.
Oh my god, lovely lovely, I wish I can do that in my curly hair
Nice! Looks great!
So pretty! I really need to start wearing different hairstyles. Thanks for the tips 🙂
I love this stile…I think I’ll try it!
look pretty good!!!!!!!
Winners at Heartland, babe! 7 minutes is short- I have to agree it might be too heavy for me but it’s the only hair dryer that does its job that quick! I can’tMelbourne hair believe I spent almost $300 on velecta Paramount… This $26 ionika is by far the best!
Her hair looks so shiny and healthy :O I’m jealous, pleaseee share the secrets! x)
I LOVE this look. I have very long, almost waist length hair, but I simply can’t make it happen. It just looks all bumpy and crazy-cat-lady like. Maybe if I got someone else to do it for me.
I love your site, which I found via Daniellorama.
Cheers
I’m so gonna try and do this !! i hope there is not a limit on your hair lenth lol! mine is a little past the middle of my back!!
I just tried these out for school and got looaaddsss of compliments 🙂 thanks elsie!
So I have tried to do this braid before with a youtube video to help me but i was not successfull as it. after a couple of tries with this blog I was able to do it, Thank you so much for your tips 🙂
Loving it so much!! xx

I think we might try that!
Thats a really pretty hair-do, i think that might only look pretty with bangs.
Do the braids add much height to your head?
Oh My Gosh!SOOOOO Super Cute!!! I love it! i’m 13 and I tried it, and it looks really good. Thanx!!!
just did this and my hair is jaw-length but really thick! to give it the proper effect I french braided the rest into the side of the hair I turned it over onto! xxxx
This is super cute! I don’t have bangs, though, and I’m wondering how best to do it without bangs.
hmm, is this possible to do with an amateur with short hair!? I hope so when I try this out tomorrow 😉 it look gawgeus

Oh my gosh, I have to tell you I wore my braids today, and I got so many compliments on my hair! I threw some hot rollers in the back of my hair, and did the braided headband while they were cooling off.
One word. AWESOME!
Definitely a win in my book!
I’m in love with these. I just don’t think I can get my hair to do it!
I love this look, and your blog. So glad to have come across this on Stumble upon!
i LOVE IT.
this is adorable! Have to try it!
all the hairstyles are pretty awesome, BUT i dont have a toupé or fringe. it would be really nice if some of the future hairstyles were for people without a fringe.
thanks xoxo
how do you hide the pins in the back when you leave the hair down?
I wish I could try this.
too bad i have VERY thin hair.

As a side note-these look pretty terrible if you don’t have bangs.
I tried, and I was VERY unsuccessful with this style on both myself and my daughter. I can’t figure out how to make it look that great lol.

Great idea! Will try this tomorrow <3
To those people saying they don’t think they could do it because they don’t have skills-I’ve never done any sort of hair styling except basic braiding and ponytails, and I just looked at this tutorial and I was able to pull it off within ten minutes. 🙂 I have thinner hair, so I just did one braid on each side, and it looks just as good, and I had enough hair left over to let it down and it looks awesome! Thanks for this tutorial!
Wow. That’s such an eye-catching braid.
Can you do this style without a fringe?
Great post..Thanks for sharing
How do you not get your braids to stick out on the side when you flip them over?

That’s really very nice one. Thanks a lot for posting such a great one.
very appreciating. Thanks a lot for posting.
This hairstyle is good,i wonder if i can make some like that.
I’ve struggled for years to find a style that is both cute and manageable with my hair type. I just gave this a shot with a messy bun on top and I think it might be the cutest style I’ve ever worn it in! Thank you so much for this!

Hello,
Really you have share great resources for everyone.
Waiting for my hair to grow out just so I can do this!
really pretty pretty, beautiful graphic.

Posted on You can check with the company; they ullausy have a toll-free number. But for a quick-check in the store, MOST companies that do not test on animals have a little logo of a rabbit in a crossed out circle and say ‘not tested on animals’ or ‘cruelty free’ or something similar. It has become a point of pride to many companies and a selling point as well, as many of us consumers learn about the horrors of animal testing and don’t wish to support such practices.
One day, I would like to this hair style.

I tried these and I absolutely love them! It’s currently rainy where I am and paired with my favorite boots, bright blue eyeshadow and a vintage umbrella… I’m even brighter and cheerier than I would be if there was sunshine! <3
Seems very vague on how to arrange the braids “around the crown.” Can’t figure out where to hide the ugly ends. Not to mention my pins are visible everywhere. Disaster. 🙁
It looks amazing!! Do you know maybe where can I find more pictures of this kind of french braids: http://www.squidoo.com/waterfall-french-braid ?
very good site that’s giving useful information on varius topics.keep doing the good work
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried it today and it turned out beautifuly. I just found your blog the other day and I am having a wonderful time exploring it!

This is beautiful! I can’t braid to save my life though. Well, that’s not true. I can braid everyone’s hair except mine! 🙁
Any tips on how to make this work without having bangs? When I tried it, the under side of the braids showed and looked rough. I also haven’t figured out how to hide the ends of the braids. Maybe my hair isn’t long enough, but it’s past my shoulders so that would surprise me.

super cute! love it can’t wait to try it!!!!! <3
Awesome. I had never seen this hair style before. I really like your hairstyle.
fun that
How weird! Just the last few days I’ve been trying to fnecrh plait my hair. It’s just grown out to a reasonable length to start doing things like this to it again. Though, I still fail miserably.Somebody did my hair like the third one once.There’s something about them which is just so lovely. x
Gorgeous style, I’ll give it a go but I don’t think I have the co-ordination for this!!

I just recently discovered this blog, and have been enjoying my adventures in A Beautiful Mess. I love everything about it! Especially the hairstyles! This one is super pretty and your model is gorgeous!(I saw her makeover story) Thanks Elsie!
Nice hairstyle and very very great post. (To my bookmarks)

this is awesome, but both of you have bangs, makes me wonder what it would look like on someone without them.
Yazzy @ HELLO! Thank you very much for your response! The liugthohse is the first time Braids .Kanekalon before you buy, try and try and try with other synthetic hair of a wig! I get the anger behind Just Because I find it hard to see I have bad mirrors! Both if you tell me that do not see anyone behind, then maybe I’m more’ quiet! I Had not thought of this I’ll let you know the disaster!PS: I hope my English is correct use automatic translator! Was this answer helpful?
@MzHypnotiq27 I think it is sooo funny you have asked this lol because i lltlraeiy just finished editing a video yesturday where I answer this lol and said the exact same thing you said about not liking to because of the frizz (however i editied the frizzy part out because i started going off topic lmbo) anyways when i have my hair in braids i dont usually like to wash because of frizz HOWEVER (lol ) you can avoid this by using witch hazel on ur scalp. (continued) .. Was this answer helpful?
Please plsaee plsaee!! Show me how you can draw Rima Touya from Vampire Knight T_T Rima’s type of pigtails is what I wanted to draw! Its so detailed and such and she is my most favorite character in Vampire Knight!
Thatʻs great! Take a picture of you and your famliy during Earth Hour. Have mom or dad send it to me and Iʻll post it on my blog. Have fun!
I am so impressed with your bueutifal braided bread. I am looking forward to trying it in a french toast like your stuffed one. I made challah a few days ago, but in my bread maker. I made it again tonight and I think the humidity here made it rise way too much. I wish I had taken it out and braided it like yours.
I just got back from a camping trip! Wish I had seen this video prior to going, I wore titsws/twistouts the whole time. I was so tired of retwisting my hair at the end of the day that by the end of the trip I just slappeda cap on and called it a day! lolThis would have been very helpful, but truth be told I have yet to do a successful wash n’ go.
i LOVE this! i’ve been trying all kinds of hair do’s and this is absolutelt GORGEOUS, thank you 😀
wow, it looks so amazing – like a princess!
The second piuctre really clever one I am hooked on to this blog. subscribed. Love the outfit ,the accessories and the way you have co-ordinated it all. Looks very classy and high-fashion .Great photography.
Love the braided look! I wear braids daily, but wondering if you have suggestions for a nearly 60 year old with a fat, square face and no neck? I have thick auburn hair tho. And wearing pigtail braids does thin out my face.
Any looks for older bohemian women?
Cute and fun styles that are easy to do! Love it!
I love this hairstyle! My hair’s too thin to have really thick braids, so I ended up having four going across my head, then braided the rest in a loose braid to cover up the part. This hairstyle is so pretty and easy to put up!
I am glad I found your article today.
i have read your article.it is the information i want to get. your article is intersting.
WOW! You have our attention.
Would be able to email me step by step on how do this like which way to flip the hair and stuff please?
Loving that look so much!! i recommned your site to everyone !
It looks simple but difficult to do. Thank you for nice photos
Thank you for nice picture, I do it later

White Sapphire:
White sapphire is a variety of the gemstone a colorless form of sapphire used in a variety of jewelry as a precious stone alternative. Sapphires are generally much less expensive than gemstones. Most white-colored sapphires are heat treated to obtain the preferred clear color; this is done by heating the sapphires in ovens to temperatures between 500 and 1800 °C for several hours, or by heating in a nitrogen-deficient atmosphere oven for seven days or more. as it is very difficult to find natural white-colored sapphires. Some may also be chemically treated, with regards to the quality of the stone and its indented use.
Sapphires are a type of corundum, which is a crystalline form of an aluminum oxide(Al 2 O 3 ) which forms in a crystalline pattern. Presence of other elements like iron, titanium, chromium, copper or magnesium give different color. When corundum is red, it is known as ruby. When it appears in other colors, it is called sapphire.
