Simple Braid with Micro-Braid Accents | Braided Hairstyles
April 08, 2012
I saw a version of this super-cute micro-braid accented hairstyle on Pinterest last week, and pinned it. Since then, it has received over 330 re-pins.
{We tried as hard as we could to find what website the style originated from, to give proper credit, but the original photo was uploaded directly to Pinterest with no tie to a user.}
After seeing the photo, my #3 daughter pleaded with me to do a tutorial of this braided hairstyle on her, so we could share with all of you! How can I resist those batting eyelashes???
This hairstyle uses a Simple Side Braid, only I included two microbraids in two of the strands. Please be sure you follow my braiding procedure exactly to ensure that the micro braids lay on top {rather than be hidden}.
The style of braiding you will need to use will be similar to the under-over stranding in a Dutch braid.
I also included a Hair-Wrapped Ponytail, to give the braid an even more sophisticated look.
We have worn this braided hairstyle twice during the week and moms always give a “double-take” for a closer look, asking how I did it. They are amazed when they see how really easy it is!
Since this is a simple braid, you can pretty much combo it with any number of accents… like twistbacks, or incorporate the braid into a bun.
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, water bottle, two clear elastics, one hairband, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5-7 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

Hi I am a new fan from the UK
I did this for my daughter this week – she peeked at me watching your videos and was so excited as she thinks this style is very similar to Rapunzel’s braid in Tangled. Thanks! She is wearing the primrose braid to a party today too.

Hi! I’m your fan here from Japan and really enjoying watching your videos with my 3daughters.. keep doing great!
Super cute!
it wonderful my grand daughter likes these hair styles. please send me more
Uhh… Is it just me or is the 2 pics the same? It looks like the one from pinterest got tinted a little and her photo looks EXACTLY like it but not tinted. If you look closely the braid is done the exact same way and there is a little flyaway in both pics in the SAME place… Weird….
How do you do that pony rapped in hair? I tried looking for that video but I couldn’t find it
I love to do something new each morning with my four-year-old. She cant wait to see what style we are doing! Thanks for all the advice:)
Love all the hairstyles!
I tried to do this, but strands of hair kept getting in front of the micro braids and they were really hard to see. I tried like 3 times and got angry and gave up. Did anyone else have this problem? Mindy, you make it look so easy!!
I love doing this one on my sister.
SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I wish so much that I could meet you. If you read this you guys are AWSOME!!!!!! And tell everyone I said aloha.
OMG I TOTALLY LUV THIS HAIRSTYLE BUT I WOULD LOVE IT MORE IF I COULD DO THIS ON MY SELF!!!!! Love You MINDY❤
