As a reference for the braiding parts, I used the soft webtoon head, picture above. Though you can transform the parts to fit with your head
The color can be changed with the primary and sub color. The primary color controls the dark areas and lineart, the sub color controls the highlight.

In order to make the braiding parts look good, I've made a small tutorial on how I do it.

Step 1:
The layer of the braiding parts is set to grayscale, you must change it to color. Otherwise you won't be able to color the parts.
Step 2:
Using an airbrush, outline the parts. The air brush shouldn't be too soft.
Step 3:
Using a brush that blends just slightly, select no color and erase in small strokes all around the part. Make sure the strokes are all facing inwards towards the tension point, where the braid is attached.
Step 4:
Using a soft lineart brush, add some baby hairs if you'd like.
Only add them for the parts framing the face.
Only add them for the parts framing the face.

I hope this catalogue is of use to anyone besides myself :)
