i often wear my hair in a bun, ponytail or braid when the curls go flat from sleeping on them. limp curls just don’t do it for me!
i was super happy when i found a tutorial for a braided bun! it’s so cute!
this is a picture of a bun made with tight, neater braids:
and this picture is made with messier braids, bunned together more loosely:

a friend of mine posted it on her blog‘s facebook page, and i just had to try it!
here’s the tutorial:
since the pictures are quite small, i made my own tutorial for you guys!
make a ponytail, divide in two parts, and braid each section.
take one braid, and twist it around the base. secure with a bobby pin or clip. take the other braid, and twist it in the opposite direction, around the rolled (first) braid. secure with a pin or clip.
fix fly-aways with some hairspray. voilá- done!
it’s such a cute and different hairstyle! i’ve already worn it twice this week. it’s also perfect for a bad hair day, or for when you didn’t have time to wash your hair- easy fix!
make sure to tuck in the ends of the braids on the inside of the bun, so that the braid pattern isn’t disrupted; you also get less fly-aways that way.
