Holiday Party Style: The Milkmaid Braid
Hi everyone, as promised today I’m sharing third holiday party hairstyle with TRESemmé for New Year’s Eve along with my own version of the milkmaid braid! If you feel more comfortable with your hair down instead of up, not to worry because I will also be sharing how I recreated lead TRESemmé stylist, Tyler Laswell’s bombshell waves using his tips and tricks minus the hair extensions in case you don’t own any! So stay tuned for that tomorrow!

For my last hairstyle, I wanted to try something different and new, but still true to my personal style so we went for a braided style, naturally. Tyler suggested a milkmaid braid, but not just any milkmaid braid…no, we went for a double!
Tyler’s MILK MAID BRAID: TIPS AND TRICKS
1. Just like the double braid, I love to braid two to three day unwashed hair. By this point it has a few different layers of products in it and this makes my life so much easier when creating a textured braid. If you are looking to create this kind of texture on day one all you have to do is combine TRESemmé TRES TWO Mega Hold Mousse and TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Gel and apply evenly throughout your hair. Rough dry using your hands and a blow dryer. If the hair still feels too soft, repeat this until you can feel the products in the hair.
2. It might sound crazy but I love to use hot rollers before I create this style. The rollers give amazing lift at the roots which prevents the hair from feeling flat in the areas that aren’t braided and secondly, soft curl or wave is much easier to braid then straight hair. Basically, if you have a lot of layers in your hair, it prevents that crazy layer from popping straight out of the braid and looking all kinds of crazy.
3. Be sure you have a mix of both long and short bobby pins in your tool box. Sometimes you just need to wrangle one small piece of hair and a long pin is too much. Also, I like to mix my colors to nobody wants to see a black pin sticking our of a gorgeous caramel highlight.
4. I love to use TRESemmé TRES TWO Mega Hold Hairspray to lock in and tame any unruly bits in just about every style I do. With braids, it is more important then ever to make sure that you hold the hairspray as far away as you can this prevent wet spot and keeps you braid looking purposely undone.

If a double milkmaid braid sounds too complex for you to try on your own. You can try my version too. I basically followed the first half Tyler’s steps as far as prep, but instead of clipping the hair extensions into my hair and using both the extensions and my natural hair to create the braid, I braided the set of hair extensions into one full, thick braid before clipping it into my hair. I hid all of the clips at the ends of the extensions beneath a low bun at the nape of my neck. I used bobby pins to secure everything and of course plenty of TRESemmé TRES TWO Mega Hold Hairspray.
I left a couple of pieces out in front and gave the hairstyle plenty of lift, texture and volume throughout to keep it looking perfectly undone!

Little Black Dress
What would we do without little black dresses in our lives? I can tell you one thing, my wardrobe wouldn’t survive without them. There are so many times when one of my little black dresses has saved the day and it is because of this reason that I always keep my closet fully stocked with them. From body con and maxis to A-line and swing dresses, I’ve got them all in black. Don’t get me wrong, I love color, but sometimes a little black dress is just necessary. Who’s with me!

Good Morning readers, this past week I finally decided to shoot some outfits for Haute Off The Rack ( I know it’s been a while! Sorry!), but of course it just had to rain all day! I’m sure you’ve gathered now that a little a rain didn’t stop us! Kaela shot under her umbrella and I surrendered my freshly blow-dried hair to the heat and humidity. If you’re from Louisiana, you know what I mean when I say surrendering yourself to the heat and humidity! There’s no turning back after that! You can say goodbye to volume and perfectly tussled locks and say hello to flatness and frizz! Nevertheless, Kaela worked her magic and we were able to shoot two outfits for you, but mostly for my sake because I need your help! Next Friday, I’m attending the grand opening at The River Walk outlets in New Orleans and I can’t decide which look to go for! So The River Walk and I are asking for your vote on what I should wear!
Head over to the @RiverwalkNOLA on Instagram and vote for your favorite look! Chic Versatility or Easy Breezy Boho? I’ll wear the wining look to the opening party at the River Walk next Friday night!
Keep your eye out for details on the second look tomorrow!
P.S. If you can’t make it to the party on Friday night, I encourage you to attend the grand opening event on Thursday Morning, May 22nd! The first 500 shoppers to spend $100 will receive swag bags! Details on the ad below!
