Hair Tutorial: Braided Bun – Keeping Style in Your Life

Hair Tutorial: BraidedBun Extraordinary MommyYou know I’m having fun with the hair tutorials, right? My husband has always encouraged me to wear my hair up – has always liked it when I have worn my hair in a ponytail and the like, but I have always hesitated.  Some silly insecurity.  Wearing my hair down has always been easy – it has always felt like ‘me’, but doing these tutorials and experimenting – learning new options has been fun.

This latest tutorial – a braided bun – is one I learned recently from the lovely Vanessa Lachey when I was at an event with P&G in New York City. Vanessa was sharing a variety of style tips – mainly focused on the home, but ended the day by doing this style on one of the girls in our group.  The idea, of course, is that it would be an easy one we could all duplicate at home.

Naturally, I wanted to do it.  So here goes.

What do you think?

Think you can do it?  I promise it is easy!

How To Do A Zero-Effort, Fast Summer UpDo

I will be the first to say I’ve fallen in to a rut when it comes to my hair.  If you’ve met me, you’ve probably seen my hair in some version of ‘long’ and ‘down’, but I’m branching out… I’m learning new things and I’m getting crazy trying to style it (or maybe not CRAZY, but still TRYING!).

Let’s be clear, I’m starting off EASY.   And I’ll confess the 103+ temperatures in St.Louis had a little to do with motivating me.  You simply can’t go long hair down every day in THAT.

And yet I still want casual and presentable, yes?
