Hair Bun with Micro-Braid Accents | Updo Hairstyles
December 20, 2012
As the second video of my collaboration with EveliniCutza on YouTube, we wanted to share with you the style we did on her channel!
It is a bun hairstyle, and one that you are likely very familiar with from Pinterest and Tumblr!
{My girls call this the “Pumpkin Bun” since it looks so much like a pumpkin and with a very “Fall-ish” feel!} We aren’t sure who created the original hairstyle, but Evelina wanted to show us all her take on how to recreate it. This technique incorporates the braids into the bun, instead of on top of it…
You will need a bun maker, which you can pick up at Claire’s or Sally Beauty, but you can also use pipe cleaners as Evelina shows us.
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, 6-10 small elastics, a bun maker, 2-4 bobby pins.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Happy Hairdoing!

In this hairstyle tutorial we have an exciting surprise for you all!
CGH#2 asked me if she could film a tutorial, so we decided to mix it up a bit by allowing her to teach you one of her go-to hairstyles on herself! She was so nervous to be teaching the tutorial… but you can see her courage as you watch the video! Her fans were so good to her in the comment box on YouTube… it was quite sweet!
This simple braided bun is a cute, quick style designed for young teenagers learning to do their own hair or people who need a great style in a hurry!
We especially thought of this one with swimmers {wet hair} as well as for other athletics or cheer/dance! The hairstyle is also great for “day-three” hair, which is best worn up so you can pull it back and still look good.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 2 hair elastics, 1 rubber band, hairspray, and a few bobby pins or spin pins {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Hairstyle Steps:
- Comb all of the hair up into a high ponytail… {You will want it to sit high on the head, not on the back of your head.}
- Secure the high ponytail with a hair elastic…
- Divide the ponytail into three sections and create a simple, basic braid down to the ends of the hair…
- Secure this braid with a small elastic {preferably the same color as your hair}…
- Then twist the braid around the front of the ponytail holder to create the bun effect. {You really want the braid to lay flat against the rubberband so that the braid is featured well}…
- Once the hair is all twisted around into a bun, secure it with another hair elastic or bobbypins/spin pins. {Either way will work fine, so simply pick whatever is most comfortable for you.}…
- Add a little pop to the hairstyle by throwing on a cute headband as an accessory.
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Katniss Reaping Braid | Hunger Games Hairstyles
March 25, 2012
Last weekend we filmed two Hunger Games Hairstyles based solely upon a few good photos we could find online, this one and the Prim Braids. {A few months ago we posted the famous Katniss Braid, the one she wears in the arena.}
We saw the THG movie Friday night, loved it, and we were happy that our hairstyles were fairly true to form!
We were also excited to receive an email from Linda Flowers, the Lead Stylist on set for The Hunger Games movie who had seen our hairstyles on YouTube and wanted to let us know that she liked them and that she wants to Skype me for a personal tutorial with her! I am so0000 EXCITED!!!
For this hairstyle worn by Katniss during “The Reaping” scene in the movie, you basically follow the same steps as we showed in the Prim Braids for the two French-backs into normal braids. The only difference is that you “fold in” and pin the lower braids into a flat, low bun.
The result is super cute, and sure to get you compliments!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, two clear elastics, several bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 5+ minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Bundled Braids {Video} | Braided Hairstyles
February 19, 2012
Many of you will recognize this hairstyle as one of the first hairdo’s we ever published, but we never have filmed a video for it.
Since we do receive quite a few requests via email asking for this video, as sometimes photo tutorials are not specific enough, we decided to film this one for you all!
We love how super easy this hairstyle is to do, and how cute it looks on our little girls. The style still works well on older girls, and moms as well, particularly if you pancake the braids into a more “loose” style.
We promise that you will get compliments on this hairstyle all day long! {My twins started calling this braided hairstyle “The Pineapple Braid” from the time they were very little, which I also think is cute because the finished hairstyle does look quite a bit like a pineapple!}
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 5 clear elastics, 2 regular
hair bands, and hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 8-10 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Begin by wetting hair {if desired} with the spray bottle.
- Gather all hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck…
- Divide the hair in the ponytail into 5 equal sections…
- Braid each of the 5 sections separately, using a clear elastic to temporarily hold them {or you can also have your daughter hold them instead}…
- Once all 5 sections are braided, grab them together at the base and fold them up towards the ponytail…
- Secure the folded braids to the ponytail with a hair band, leaving the ends of the braid loose…
- Tease the loose hair ends to your liking.
- Add in hairspray or a ribbon/accessory {if desired}.
Enjoy!
Happy Hairdoing!
