The bun with a braided neck
Should it be a bun or a braid? Why not have both? The bun with a braided neck is definitely my favorite updo for medium-length hair and with the following instructions styling it is child's play. Admittedly, this hairstyle requires some practice, but the technique can actually be learned very quickly.
- First, take your head forward and comb the hair overhead well.
- To make the hair a little more manageable, apply some styling hair wax to the section of hair to be braided.
- Divide the bottom section at the back of the head into three strands and start braiding a classic French braid.
- Make sure to always braid the side strands over the middle strand. Take smaller strands of hair from the sides and add them to the main strands.
- Braid the French braid as close to the back of the head as possible, making sure that no strands fall onto it.
- Continue braiding to the point where you want the bun to sit - whether you choose a higher or low bun is entirely up to you.
- Then secure the braid with a small hair tie and lift your head.
- If you are happy with the result, tie the remaining hair into a bun.
- Fix with hairspray and you're done!
