French Braid Bun

I have tried to figure out how to use separate pages and have failed. Thus, I deleted those useless pages and I am simply going to post everything in the same spot. That means no handy categories but...it's the best I can do! :-)
Here is a hairstyle I do a lot. I do have to mention that pretty much all the hairstyles I am going to post are for long hair. I have very long hair. If you have shorter hair, you can probably figure out how to modify some of the styles for yourself. Anyway, here we go!

You start with a basic french braid. (If you don't know how to do this, there are tons of videos on youtube that explain! :-)
Then you are going to tuck the braid under and up, pulling it through. Like this. (I'm sorry if this is all a bit complicated! This is my first time explaining how to do a hairstyle so I don't have much practice! Hopefully the pictures help!)
If your hair is long enough, there is enough hair here to do a little bun.
Then you just secure it in place with hairpins, little claw-clips or whatever else you like the best in your hair. It's pretty and elegant, but easy enough to do in just a few minutes. I use this style all the time. :-)

I am sorry if this is a way confusing post. I will try to work on my tutorial skills. :-) A thank you to my little sister for the use of her hair! It takes a lot of work to take pictures of yourself and do the style at the same time, so she generously donated her head! Thank you!
God Bless!
Amy

  3. Amy--I've been meaning to tell you for months just how this post has been preying upon my mind. "It's almost long enough, I think. By next month, maybe I could wing it. . ." Then I got my hair trimmed. And how.

    P.S. Nice head, Teresa.

    *Amy chews thoughtfully on a fingenail and tries invisioning how to do shorter hair in this style...chew, chew, chew.*
