the TUTORIAL: THE KNOT-SO BRAIDED BUN

We love love buns! They are easy and super fun when you can get it right. I personally love a messier bun but it always starts falling apart at the wrong time. With this bun you can rest assured it won't be going anywhere but you can still achieve a messier not-so-put together bun. Read on to see how we did it!

First, put your hair in a ponytail in the place where you want your bun to be. Secure it tightly. If your hair is really flat, you may want to tease your hair in the pony.

Braid your ponytail and secure with a clear elastic.

Pull your braid forward.

Pin down the top of the braid to your head right above the elastic holding your ponytail.

Roll the end of the braid inward.

Pin down the braid underneath the elastic holding your ponytail.

You will need to pin your hair down to your head around the ponytail. If it's a little too messy, use more bobby pins. If it's too clean, loosen the braid a little with you fingers.

This picture shows all the places we put bobby pins. Obviously then point is to hide the bobbys but if you use pins that are close enough to your hair color, you should be fine.

And then you are done! It should look something like this but your bun will differ depending on your hair texture and length. This look is cute just like this and would be fun with a headband or head wrap!
