Here's an easy and quick updo that's super fun. You could wear this during cocktail hour or save it for when your hair is on it's last day before you wash it again!
Start with brushed-through hair.
Tease your hair at the crown.
Smooth out the top of your hair.
Separate your hair into three parts.
Separate one of the sections into 3 parts, and braid one of the parts. Then you will braid the 3 parts together and secure with a clear elastic.
Repeat on all sections of the hair. Keep a clear elastic at the top of the middle section, but not on the outside braids. We want the middle braid to stay put but we want the outside sections to be looser on the sides of your head.
Loosen the braids up a little with your fingers.
Roll each braid up into a bun and secure with bobby pins. It may take a few bobby pins to secure each bun.
And done! Check out the rest of the views of Casey's hair below.

DeleteThis is gorgeous, and so simple! I think it's actually something I might be able to do with my crazy hair lol. Going to try it this weekend - thanks!
ReplyDeleteDo it!!
DeleteSo cute, I just have to try...thankssss!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
DeleteBeautiful! My hair isn't long enough to do this but my daughter will look gorgeous with this hair do! Thanks for sharing! ☺
ReplyDeleteThis hair style is definitely great for all ages. You should take a pic of what your daughter's hair looks like it when you've done it and share it with us!
DeleteI love it!! I'm wearing my hair this way right now. It was so easy to do and my little girl said that I look fancy.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had luck with it. It is a little fancier than normal but we think it's not so fancy that you can't wear it everyday. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLove this hair do. I tried it yesterday and my son told me, "Mom, you look beautiful, so cute, so cute!" I am loving it.
ReplyDeleteI shared this as one of my favorite pins on Pinterest on my blog this week. Thanks for sharing!
Awwww that's so sweet. Thanks for putting us on your blog!
DeleteSavannah, I just wanted to say I almost had a heart attack or peed my pants to see this tutorial because in the next to the last photo, the side view, you look exactly like me! I was seriously wondering how someone put my picture on there! I showed my husband and he agreed! It was such a funny experience!
ReplyDeletethat's a pic of me (Casey). Savannah put this tutorial together which is why her name is at the bottom. There are 2 of us that do this blog. I guess we're doppelgangers :)
DeleteI love this, thank you for showing us how to do it! I am for sure going to try it today!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it :)
DeleteFound you via pinterest. 1) I ADORE the color of your hair!!! Seriously! 2) The first time I saw this pinned, it was just to a pic & I couldn't tell that you had put a tiny braid in each of the three sections. I was still able to do the look, but am looking forward to seeing how it will look when done exactly as you show it. 3) I think this is a great, easy up-do. Perfect for casual (I wore it just to head out to Sweet Frog for some yummy frozen yogurt w/the family & some friends), but could easily be a simple up-do for work or even after with some well placed hair-bling (fancy bobby-pins! LOL).
ReplyDelete1) Why thank you. It's actually an organic hair color that I got done at Studio Green Salon in Nashville. I've been so happy with the color and doesn't wash out like regular hair color.
Delete2) Yeah that's a subtle detail that isn't totally necessary, but fun nonetheless.
3) That's why we like it, because it's so versatile.
Thanks for coming by!
Thanks for showing how to do this style. My husband and I went to the movies and I did my hair this way AND He LOVED it thanks you!! It is a very cute style Thanks again :D
ReplyDeleteYay! It's always a plus when the men like our hair :)

so pretty! have you ever tried this on someone without bangs? i don't have bangs :(
ReplyDeleteHi Savannah! I just love this!! I featured it today on my 20 Summer Braid Hairstyle Tutorials Roundup!! http://www.missloviecreations.blogspot.com/2012/06/20-summer-braid-hairstyle-tutorails.html# Come check it out and grab a button if you like!! Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! You just saved me TONS going to the salon for 'a low, messy-ish updo'. Thank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this, tried it and could not love it more! I love the way the braids make your hair around your face. It pulls it just right so it frames your face differently then just pulling it back. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic but I'm also wondering about how you got your hair color. I've been looking for a good red highlight with my dark-ish brown hair. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI got my hair done at a salon. I have no idea what he used but it was organic hair coloring and washed out very quickly. I love the color but it was too hard to maintain. I'm blonde now.
DeleteMarine Corps Ball on Saturday and I'm STILL lookin for a pretty and simple updo. Going to practice with this one tonight!!
ReplyDeleteI found this while getting ready to go out for my birthday! Thanks for the tutorial, unfortunately - I'm hair dumb!!! It didn't work out, but I ended up getting something similar (but it turned into 1 bun?) Love the way you are able to pin up 3 buns! Looks super cute with your read hair.

Love this!! Ive been looking everywhere to find a "show me" way to do these buns everyone seems to know how to do but me!! I have long hair but like it up on most days because who's got time to fix long hair everyday??!! At 47 you'd think I would know a little smthg about how to put my hair up besides just a high ponytail huh? well..I don't!! Im very hair challenged!! I don't even know if I can do this one but you did give me step by step instructions so will give it a try. I need to get some clear little ties and bobby pins, will do that asap and give this a try!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call this hairstyle?!
