How to do a simple side bun style!

Simple side bun style with a braided feature

For this style I have pr- braided and taken a section of about 4cm underneath and used an alligator clip to hold the top hair away (alligator clips will be your best friend!).

Upstyles work best on slightly dirty hair or if washed lightly blow dry some product (light hold hairspray or something with a little stick) into the hair prior to styling.

I have created a low pony tail on the opposite side to the biggest braid to off set braid visually when looking from the front.

I have used two large pins attached to an elastic. Watch my Quick Tip video on how to secure this. It makes the style more secure and if using curls in a style it makes it easier not to disturb them too much.

Now let down the top section of the hair. You can use back combing technique to make this as full as you like. This time I am having it with out back combing.

             

We then take the top section and brush to pull together to then wrap around the ponytail.

Then back comb the ponytail to give fullness and texture and randomly pin inside the bun picking up some hair from underneath to secure it. 

Make sure you are checking all sides of the style for balance. If you want to be adventurous you could curl the ends and pin randomly or wrap into a knot with ends out.

I hope you like this style and again easy break down and pins hidden! Dont forget to view this style and subscribe to my You Tube channel
