How To: Braided Bun!

So I have received a lot of questions lately about a hairstyle I wear a lot lately which is what I call a braided bun. The questions I have gotten are 'How do you do it?' or 'When do you wear it?' So I am going to teach you to do it and when the best times are to wear it.

So how to actually do the bun!

1. So for me to do my hair I prefer it to be straight. I find it easier to french braid when my hair is nice and straight. I also keep my hair parted on the left. People will tell you to part your hair on the middle but I feel the bun looks better when your hair is parted where you like it.
2. Once you have your hair where you can braid it, you start at the root and start french braiding down the side of your face and I tend to braid to the back of my head
3. Once you have a nice looking braid just twist the remaining hair back into a bun and use bobby pins to secure the braid and bun to your head to your liking.

I used a Bethany Mota video to help me learn to french braid (shocking I know) but it was super helpful and she shows herself  doing the braid do so I added the link if you need to see that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1zBSMVuw_8)
      - She does do the braiding into the bun a little differently than mine but either way is super cute!

 It is a little complicated when you first are learning and it is a little harder if you can't french braid but I really do love this hairstyle.

I tend to wear my hair like this on multiple occasions!

I have been known to wear it a lot at races or sporting events. It is just good for keeping hair out of your face. I also have worn it to more formal events like prom or any dance. I do tend to wear it on days I don't want to deal with my hair or if it is a day I need a shower. It just keeps it looking nice and it looks like you put in a lot of effort on your that day when really it took a few minutes.


This hairstyle does have variations with it that I tend to use too!

You can always pull the hair into a ponytail like I did on the fun trip to Bristol when it started raining on us!

For this instead of twisting your hair into a bun I just left it in a fun ponytail that made it a little sporty and it saved my hair from the humidity!

You can also do a full braid with it. With this, once you have braided down your face just split your hair into three sections (the braided hair being one) and braid them together. Again it is a very sporty hair style but very cute and fun!

I hope this helps you and that you love this hairstyle as much as I do and if you do use this style send me a picture with the #MegsHowTo so I can see!

I hope you enjoyed this post and for everyone asking YES! I am doing a blog post about my Martinsville trip I just have to get it all written and school has been crazy but fear not! It is coming within the next few days! I will talk to you guys soon!
