Double Braid Bun

1. Moisturize, seal and detangle hair. (I started on previously bantu knotted air dried hair.)
2. Create a side part and section hair from ear to ear.(Optional: Leave a small section out to fame your face.) 
3. Pull back half into a low bun.
4. Loosely dutch braid each front section. Pick apart and fluff your braid creating an illusion of plumped fullness.
5. Pull the ends back and wrap around the bun. Secure with pins.

Tips & Tricks

1. Skimpy bun? Use a mesh donut like I do here. 
2. No Definition? Don't bother. I love a good messy updo. Roll with elegant yet casual look.
3. Braid trouble? It doesn't matter if you dutchbraid, fishtail, or two strand twist. Whatever braid/twist is easiest for you to do---go for it!
4. Lackluster?  Try applying an oil or butter before styling. I use my kitchenista Tangerine Vanilla Whipped Hair Butter.

5. Flyaways? Tame flyways by covering with a silk scarf for a few minutes before heading out. I totally wish that I would have done that first!
