hey guys so a couple of videos ago I asked you what type of updo you would
like to see next and I was not surprised by the answer at all because
majority of you said easy which is wonderful for me so today I thought I
would share with you this awesome effortless quick and easy updo that you
could do in under five minutes I really wanted to create a updo that was fuss
free and would be perfect for work or even a formal event so let's get started
one of my favorite ways to add detail into any updo is by doing a little
French braid so the first step is gather all of your hair that's above your
temples and is separated from the rest next step divide that top section into
three equal pieces that we can begin our French braid and I'll walk you through
it so don't worry first step of the braid is to create a normal three-strand
braid so I'm going to bring that right side over the center and then I'm going
to take my left side and bring it over the center so so far all we've done is a
regular three strand braid now this time on the right side we're gathering all
the hair that's above our ears and joining it into that right section and
then I'm just going to cross that right section over the middle and then repeat
the exact same step on the left side so all of the hair that's above your ears
join it into that left section and then cross it over the middle and then I'm
just going to repeat this one more time so now I'm grabbing all of the hair
that's at the nape of my neck incorporating it into that right section
and then crossing it over and then I'm repeating the same thing on the left
side my biggest tip to ensure it looks more elegant and put together is to make
sure you're incorporating all of that neck hair I'm guilty of this sometimes
what it makes such a big difference and then just secure it with the strong hair
elastic and it should look similar to this next step you just want to slightly
pull apart this braid but not too much but just enough to make it more it
defined and add some volume so I'm just gently pulling on the top and the sides
of each section of braid just using my index finger and thumb and
I'd recommend only pancaking the braid slightly because it's much easier to
make it larger than it is to try and make it smaller and then I also like to
use the end of a comb but you can also use your fingers just to help add some
lift at the crown and this will give the hairstyle a more formal appearance
without having to tease our hair now time for the fun part
get your bobby pins ready we're going to create the bun if your hair is on the
thinner side I suggest teasing your ponytail with
your hands to help add some additional volume and then throwing in some extra
texturizing spray for the button you want to grab your ponytail with your
left hand and place your index finger on top of your elastic and your thumb
underneath so you're pinching your ponytail with my right hand I'm going to
grab my ponytail and I'm just wrapping it counterclockwise around my index
finger as I'm wrapping it I'm holding everything in place with my other
fingers and then I'm going to grab the tail of my ponytail and I'm going to
wrap it up and pass it into my index finger and then I'm grabbing it with my
index finger and thumb and I'm going to pull it about halfway through that hole
and then stop so we're basically creating a knot but just not pulling our
ends all the way through if your ends are sticking out we will fix this later
and if your ends aren't sticking out even better but you just want to pin
your bun into place I like to begin pinning mine around the perimeter of my
bun and you can always go in and fix your pins later but I like to make sure
it's secured to my head first also you should probably use bobby pins
that match your hair color I've just never gotten around to it but it'll look
a lot more professional so once it's secured to your head if your ends are
still sticking out like mine grab onto them and just wrap them clockwise and as
you're wrapping them tuck them underneath your bun they'll help to
cover any exposed bobby pins and then just pin the ends to your heads so that
they are hidden so there we have you guys that's how quick and easy it is to
create this no-fuss updo I think this hair song can be so chic I think it's
absolutely perfect for work you can wear it a little more
effortless if you'd like to and I also love that it's great for any sort of formal
occasion now I know I personally love to part my hair on the side I think it
looks great with updos but I know a ton of you would love to do the center part
so it came across a picture of kathleenlights rocking a center part
with an updo and she looks incredible so I'll link that down below for some
inspiration for you guys but I'd absolutely love to know what you guys
