How to do Heidi braids

I'm terrible at doing my hair and usually wear it in a messy bun. So I was excited to see that Julie did a post on how to do Heidi braids. What a cute fall look! Will you try it?

  2. Cool! Might be a way to tame the many many curls that come with rainy season.

  3. I will absolutely try it!!! I have needed a tutorial for this one. Oh, and just because I will try it doesn't mean it will be "public ready". :) Some of my "hair styles" don't leave the bathroom mirror. LOL.

  4. I used to do my hair like that all the time when I was younger but of course it looked horrible. I wonder if it's possible to still look college-age and get the Heidi look?

  6. I love them! My mom used to do my hair like that when I was little and put a big bow right on top in the middle. You gotta love moms :)

  7. Ahhhhhh adorable!!! My great grandma ALWAYS had her hair in Heidi braids, and I remember thinking how charming they were when I was little, so this post brings back sweet memories. :)

  8. I am hopeless at doing my hair! But I do love this look :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. yes i will definitely try them! I have tried before but ended up giving up way too early lol. i need to stick with it and figure it out!

  10. i would LOVE to if my hair was braidable :o( ... i wish i worked with some gals that could be doing my hair right now! *smiles*

  11. sadly for me my hair is long enough for the messy bun (unfortunately, i think it's my trademark...i never have it down b/c i never blow-dry!) but not for the braids :(

    however, i still have a youtube instruction video bookmarked on how to do them, should my hair ever reach proper length :)
    let us know if they work out for you!!

  12. This looks lovely! I'm just back rom Paris and lots of girls were wearing this style

    ReplyDelete
  13. oh really, lesley? how fun to know! and so cute about your great-grandma, katie. my grandma always twists her hair into a big fat white bun. :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. I've tried it!! My hair is really long so this hair-style really gets my hair out from my eyes. Cute tutorial too!! Easy!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. AAA! If only my hair were long enough I would TOTALLY do this!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ooo this is without a doubt my favourite way to wear my hair! Once you get the hang of it, it's surprisingly easy and hassle free... and happens to look fab! Thanks for sharing more about your first days with Toby - looks so precious.

    Much love, Hannie

  17. oh yes. I will TRY, because I'm really bad at fixing my hair, but love love love braids.

    P.S. such cute pictures in the previous post. Your birth story has decreased my fear of giving birth substantially. Thank you!

  18. If I had such beautiful hair as Julie has I will definetly wear it like this :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I've got crazy boy short hair but I do love a braid. I french braided my daughters hair all the time when she was little. She loved how wavy it was the next day. The Heidi is kinda cute!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I do this a few times a year and have been thinking of doing it more often, too! Mine usually looks pretty sloppy, though, so I can use the tutorial. About a decade ago I spent a semester in St. Petersburg, and my female Russian teachers were so sweetly enchanted when I came to school like this. One clasped her hands to her heart and said, "Here is a truly womanly head" (which sounds much less natural in English than it did in Russian!).

  21. i will "try" it and by "try" i mean that's pretty much what the end result will be. just an attempt. i'm so bad at braids!

    ReplyDelete
  22. yes! my hair has just about reached long enough for these!i have super thick hair though and the braids always end up so fat ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Adorable! I think I would get a hair-ache though...

    ReplyDelete
  24. For having long hair, I need to start getting a little more creative. I'll have to give this a shot!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have long hair...but it's layered! So I think I could not do this look :/

    Super cute though!

  26. I'll give it a shot! Although I'm convinced that wearing my hair up makes me look like a twelve-year-old, it would be nice to have a change!

  27. absolutely! i have long straight hair so hopefully it will work! i wonder if you can do just half braided up and still have some hair down ... i'll let you know ;)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes! I'm in Lviv this month, and this 'do will totally be Yulia Tymoshenko-chic!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Love it! If only I had long hair!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I've been doing mine sorta like this for years...but only on occasion! It's a great do!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I've been doing my hair like this a lot lately! I heart it.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Very cute ~ I used to wear my hair like this (in grade school) and it's time to give it a try again I see ~ a true example of a fashion coming back into vogue :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is such a cute look, I'm a sucker for braids and buns so the combo is even better. I'm terrible at doing my hair as well, I'll have to find a (patient) friend to try it on me!

  36. it's cute, but i don't think i'd be able to pull it off. on the right person, it would look absolutely adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I wish I was better at braids. I can do a fishtail and a regular braid, but I couldn't french braid my own hair to save my life. Wouldn't it be nice if someone came over to your house every morning and did your hair for you?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Looks lovely on you!!! I don't have thick hair though so I don't think it would be very pretty on me....
    I shall have to give it a shot for a final verdict.

    Not anymore, no. But one of my grandmothers did, long red hair & all. I think if this was forced on you as a child (raise your hands, people), you might not like it. This looks cute though.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thank God there are people who do these online tutorials! Some of us would be so lost otherwise! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love it! It never looks that good when I do it myself!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Such a cute look but I am terrible at braiding hair too.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Love them! They look so cute, and I really like your blog too, first time here! The pictures of your baby are adorable, it really makes me want to have a baby too although I'm still pretty young. I'll surely come back around!

  50. great look...too bad i just chopped my hair off. perhaps i could try a mini version. thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I did try to figure it out myself after your post a couple days ago!! It didn't turn out quite like this, but I still really liked it, and the husb did too :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think my hair's a little too short for this hairstyle. Maybe in about a year?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Long can easily do that and looks great after all.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I would love to try, but my hair isn't long enough at the moment. I can't even tie it up into a mini bun because it comes out like a fish tail!

    ReplyDelete
  55. So romantic... sure I'll try! I'm still wiping my eyes after reading your birth story. Thank you.

  56. Was just at Oktoberfest last weekend, and every German girl had her hair like this (which means I stuck out like a tourist with my hair worn down). I hope by next year's fest, my hair is long enough to do this - it's lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I really adore this knd of hairdo, it's feminine and cute. And actually not so difficult at all.

    I would love to try it again with this how-to-do, but all the times when I tried to do this before my hair kind of exploded/ballooned/poofed out over my ears when I pinned up the braids...

    ReplyDelete
  59. I was terrible at doing my hair especially braiding, but I really wanted to learn so I watched youtube videos and kept practicing and got better at it. Now I get compliments on my French braids. Don't give up Joanna! And thanks so much for posting this, I've always wanted to learn how. I hope my hair is long enough.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I agree that I absolutely adore this look - the one catch for me is my hair is too short! I entreat any lady out there to come up with the heidi braid alternative for those of us with shoulder length hair :)

  61. Sweet! I love it but am not usually good with things like this. I'll give it a shot though!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I've been wearing my hair like this ALL summer. I love it! so easy and I don't have to wash it for days...

    ReplyDelete
  63. I just did my first Heidi braids; it feels like I am wearing a crown. I like it, even though my hair could be a little longer. Something to look forward to! Thanks for link!

    ReplyDelete
  64. This is funny I just looked up how to do these for a new fall look this week. They really are a lot easier then they look, and great when you don't feel like washing your hair!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Of course I'll try and then I'll send you a picture, if I can make it look good :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Now that I've let my hair grow long, I do this look lots! I went deep sea fishing and did the heidi braids and it stayed all day, and looked cute too! It's worth growing your hair out for!

  74. not only is this cute, very feminine, and classic, but it's a useful hairstyle! I want to do this for when (and if) I go to the German Fest next month to celebrate my German heritage.
