How To: Braided Bun

June 22nd, 2011

I’m all about easy hairstyles for the beach that are quick, but still stylish. I’ve been doing some sort of variation on a braided bun for years, since it keeps the hair out of my face and at the end of the day, I have tousled waves that require no extra work. The best part is that it’s not supposed to look too perfect, so you can just throw it together, put on a hat and head out the door!

    Hi, i just stumbled upon your post – great hairstyle – i am always looking for styles that could cover my ears as they are disproportionate, and I love the hat idea:)

    I don’t know when my hair isn’t braided in the summertime. I usually do the Heidi-esque french braid along my hair line and throw it all back in a bun but this looks a little less milkmaid and so so cute!

    You’ve made this style of plait look really easy to accomplish. Every time i try to do plaits i never get looking as good as images i see. Yours looks gorgeous though. well done

    This is gorgeous. I love how it looks casual and carefree but keeps your hair out of your face. Also looks like it might take some practice! Thanks for the photos.
