And of course they look incredibly adorable. Plenty of celebs have been rocking these lovely braids lately, so we’re sharing our simple tutorial for the perfect maiden braids.

Step: Towel dry hair to damp, then apply set and style spray.

Step: Use a comb to create a center part. Then use a paddle brush to blowdry hair from roots to ends, focusing on smoothness and shine.

Step: Divide hair into two equal sections, one on each side of the head. Braid both sections and secure each braid with a clear elastic.

Step: Grab one of the braids and cross it over the head to the opposite ear. Use a bobby pin to pin in place. Do the same for the other braid.

Step: Mist with holding spray.
