If you live in a hot humid area, you know lots of easy updo hairstyles are necessary.  It’s so hot and sticky we like to get our hair off the neck.  Todays, Triple Bun is perfect for a variety of occasions.
This hairstyle is perfect for girls and women of all ages.  It could be worn every day or even a special occasion. (Like Homecoming)To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHTripleBunUpdo
