A fun up do style for a special occasion or any day at all!
- Start by using some dry shampoo (I will link my favorite below) to give texture and rid any excess oil.
- At the part line start a dutch braid (for a dutch braid tutorial you can find the link below as well)
- You will grab a section of hair and cross middle over top of the outside pieces
- Add to the side section and cross the middle section over the top
- Add to the other side and cross the middle over the top
- Continue this for about 4 or 5 stitches
- Be sure to turn your head so that the hair is braided where it needs to be, so that when you pull it back it doesn't bubble.
- Braid to the end and secure with an elastic.
- Now pancake for the desired effect by softly pulling on the outer edges of the braid.
- Take a small section on the other side and add a rope braid
- Split in two and cross one over the top then add into the front section
- Cross over again and add to the front section
- Continue with about 4 or 5 stitches
- Now twist each section and cross over each other to twist all the way to the end
- Secure with an elastic and pancake the rope braid.
- Take the braid and pull across the back to secure with two bobby pins
- Take the rope twist and tuck it under the braid, then secure with a bobby pin
- Take out the elastics
- At this point the style is pretty as is and you can just curl the remaining hair, or you can add the buns
- For the buns, split the hair in half and take a large elastic
- I will be doing two of my signature messy buns here, for a slower tutorial you can tap the Top Knot tutorial at the end of this video, or you can find the link below.
- Basically just split the hair in half and pull the elastic over then tuck the ends back in
- Adjust the hair by pulling at the ends to make them fluffier.
- I like to pull out a few pieces to frame my face and that's it!
