Braid Wrapped Bun | Pinspired

Pinterest is the ultimate to go unleash your inner creative foodie, unique fashionista, and intriguing abstract artist. Of course, being all things hair obsessed, SavingOurStrands has hundreds of captivating and cute styles for you to be inspired by when that bun gets too boring. So, I'm putting a little pep into my protective style step with a monthly series recreating PINspired hairstyles.

SIDEWALK ready

PINspired Sidewalk Ready Braid Wrapped Bun

1. Begin with detangled and moisturized hair. (My hair was previously flat ironed).
2. Create a deep side part then section from top of crown to ear. Clip out of the way.
3. Smooth the rest of your hair into a bun and secure with bobby pins.
4. Take the remaining loose section, braid going backwards, then wrap it around your bun. 
5. Pin until everything feels secure.

Here's the video from Kayley at Sidewalk Ready for my lovely visual readers:

Tips and Tricks:

1. Skip the mesh donut- I know, its very tempting to try this look with a mesh donut. But I promise you that you will not get the same "swirly" bun affect. If your hair is at least shoulder length (maybe even a bit shorter), you can pull this look off by twisting your hair around in a bun and securing with pins.
2. I can't braid- No te preocupes por eso chica! A double strand twist will look just as stunning. 
3. Do I have to back comb? Heck no! The best thing (and the worst thing) about textured hair is that we wake up with big hair. I'm not a back comber and you don't have to do it to achieve this look.
