Hair du Jour Day 39: February 8, 2012
Messy 3 Braid Low Bun
How to do it:
On damp or dry hair, pull hair into a low ponytail slightly above the nape of your neck (you will need some room underneath and around it to wind your bun). Secure with strong ponytail holder (will not be seen). Divide ponytail into three sections. Braid 1st section and secure with small elastic. Repeat with 2nd and 3rd sections. Starting with the 2nd section (middle braid), wind around the ponytail making a bun and pin underneath bun using bobby pin x's. (may need more than one depending on the heaviness and thickness of your hair...try to hide the pins and use pins that are your hair color) Wind 3rd section around the bun you have started to create. Pin. Wind 1st section around your bun. Pin. You will notice you have both width and a 3D effect coming out to meet you. Nice trick!
Time to do it: Under 5 minutes
I always wondered how to make beautiful, full braided buns. Never thought to use more than one braid. Thank you, Pinterest!
