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.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
