Create this beautiful updo with a braid that ends in a low twisted ballerina bun by following this easy tutorial
A step-by-step by Juanmy Medialdea
Step One
Prepare the hair by curling the length with 1"-1.25" diameter tongs. Next, brush the hair, apply a bit of shine spray, and you're ready to start the styling.
Step Two
Divide the hair into two sections, taking the highest area of the eyebrow as a reference. Leave a rectangle at the top with zigzag sides and reach the area below the crown.
Step Three
Reserve the upper part of the hair with a clip, and with the lower section (sides and nape), make a ponytail at mid-neck, securing it with an elastic band.
Step Four
Work with the upper section: Separate a two-finger-wide section from the front or fringe and reserve it. With the remaining section, open the center with a vertical parting. Then, the front section is twisted and placed over the previously created part.
Step Five
Loosen some strands to achieve more volume.
Step Six
Make a braid, feeding it from the upper rectangle until it reaches the ponytail.
Step Seven
Open the strand to achieve more volume.
Step Eight
Secure the strand to the ponytail with a hair elastic, and on top of this, place a small piece of padding.
Step Nine
Divide the ponytail into three sections. Starting with the first section, twist it and place it over the padding, securing it with hairpins.
Step Ten
Repeat step (9) with the next section, simultaneously securing it with hairpins.
Step Eleven
Finish with the last section, repeating step (9) and using hairpins for assistance.
Step Twelve
Provide the final touches to achieve the desired volume. The result is a beautiful updo with a braid, finished in a low twisted bun.
