Milkmaid braids: 2009 hair trend

Written by Tania Braukamper

While they emerged in the midst of 2008, milkmaid braids are set to make a come-back in 2009 and figure heavily in women's hair trends.

A cute style that can be pulled off by many, there's one minor problem with milkmaid braids: you either need really long hair, or a very well-matched hair piece.

Pre-2009

It was way back at the start of 2007 that Sienna Miller (right) put this type of plaited 'do back on the radar, with her Golden Globes ensemble - managing to take the style from cutesy to elegant.

Most recently, Nicole Richie has been spotted several times in the style, while Rachel Bilson has haloed her own head with a braid.
