hey guys today's hairstyle is this really beautiful and effortless low bun
with some chunky braid detailing this look was inspired by Emma Chen artistry
on Instagram I absolutely love everything she does but I was so drawn
to this look because of how effortless and chic it was
and although braids are usually associated with summer hairstyles I
think this would look so great paired with like a chunky turtleneck for fall I'm
going to break down this hairstyle for you guys and make it nice and simple so
let's get started for today's hair tutorial I will be using two of my 1
clip weft from my Luxy Hair extensions these are in the color ash blonde and
what I like to do is just clip the one extension to the other right underneath
the clip like this that way when you put it into your braids there's only one
weft which is really easy to hide a deep part is necessary for this hairstyle and
the best way to do this is line your part up with the arch of your eyebrow
use the back of a comb and just draw a line straight back now I find it easiest
to a section away all of the hair that I won't be using so place your comb at the
back of your part and part your hair across the back of your head and tell
your it about your temple and then you want to part your hair down to the
middle of your neck so it should look similar to this and go ahead and clean
up your lines and you just want to tightly secure all of that hair out of
the way for now with that clipped away we can section off the front section if
you want that swooping bang so place your finger about an inch back from the
front of your face and just trace down until you reach the top of your ear and
then just twist and clip this out of the way for now now time to braid so grab a
one-inch section right at the top of your part and I'm just going to sneak in
my extensions to help make this braid nice and thick from the top to the
bottom and I'm just joining them into that top section now divide this section
into three very equal pieces that we can begin
our braid starting with the right strand you want to do one full pass of a three
strand braid going underneath the middle and this just helps to create the
foundation now time to Dutch this time when you bring the right side underneath
the middle you want to grab a go to half-inch size section and join it in
once it's joined in bring that underneath the middle and then repeat
the same step with that left strand grab about a half inch size piece of hair and
join it in and then bring it underneath the middle keep Dutch braiding down the
remainder of this section and the trick to this braid is to keep it nice and
tight also grab smaller sections than you think you should you want this braid
to be detailed so the smaller sections will help you achieve that once you
reach about the temple height you want to begin directing your braid towards
the middle of your head to help give it that pretty curved appearance and I
remember trying to keep it as tight as possible once you've reached your neck
could go ahead and stop and then secure your braid with a clear hair elastic now
to make the braid pop even more you'll want to pancake it but not too much so
just use your index finger and thumb to tug on the outside of each section to
help it appear thicker the step is great especially if you didn't use hair
extensions because it just helps to give your braid that nice full appearance now
an easy part secure your hair into a low side
ponytail leaving out that front section for now and you want your ponytail to
be sitting directly underneath your braid then anchor your ponytail with one
hand and pull up in small sections around the crown of your head this will
help to create that effortless appearance while giving us more volume
without having to tease our hair and lately I've been using this medium hold
hairspray from Kerastase and I find adding hairspray really helps to give
the hairstyle that texture appearance while holding those lifted
pieces into place plus this hairspray smells so good you can see here the
difference that this step makes now time to create the bun have fun with this
let's put together the better so I like to wrap my hair counterclockwise
completely around my ponytail keeping everything nice and loose and once I've
wrapped around in a full circle I like to kind of wrap it underneath itself and
then tuck my ends through the center for this hairstyle I left my ends poking out
at the bottom I thought I just gave it a more lived-in appearance next bobby pin
your bun into place I like to secure the outside of my bun first and then I like
to go in and bobby pin any of those loose pieces kind of wherever I think
looks best I think creating different directions in your bun and having it be
less perfect helps to create that effortless appearance that the
inspiration hairstyle had so just have some fun with it and keep pinning it
until you're happy with it now those front pieces move them over your ear and
you just want to pin them right where your braid meets your bun and then tuck
your ends underneath your bun and pin them out of the way and then you just
want to lock it all in with one last spray of hairspray there have you guys
that is how to achieve this effortless braided bun you guys I am so in love
with how this hairstyle turned out I can't get over it look at it I think it
looks so nice it's definitely going to be my new go-to and I want to get my
hair like up and off of my shoulders I wish I had somewhere to go right now I
just have plans to go play some tennis in like 20 minutes I guess I could leave
it in and I'll just look super extra on the tennis court also stay tuned to my
