Whether you're a bride daydreaming about her wedding, or simply looking for a new style for special occasions, this braided bun will set you apart! Learn how to create this gorgeous upstyle with a few tools and a 4 strand braid with the steps below from Sherri Jessee!

 


THE STEPS:

Step 1: Create a section behind the ears in the nape area and complete a 4 strand braid on each side. 

 

Step 2: Take a section just above the occipital and place it on a hair pad. Roll it up to create a low chignon.

 

Step 3: Gently stretch the hair over the hair pad and pin to the head securely. 

 

Step 4: Create a section behind the ears in the nape and complete a 4 strand braid on each side. 

 

Step 5: Brush the side sections back smoothly, spray with Super Shape Hairspray and wrap across the bun and secure. 

 

Step 6: Loosen the braid on each side beginning at the bottom and working your way up to the top. 

 

Step 7: Drape the braids across the chignon and sew or pin to secure. 

 

Step 8: Spray NEVO Super Shape Hairspray to secure and smooth down any fly away hairs.
