Prom is coming up and I’ve received soooo many requests for a high bun tutorial. I am in love with this style that features a cute lace braid in a headband style accompanied by a second lace braid on the opposite side. Then it’s all tied together into my favorite top knot that is so easy to recreate I have no doubt it’ll soon become your favorite too! This style was inspired by @tonyastylist on instagram who does amazing hairstyles so be sure to check her out! Double Lace Braid High Bun Supplies: Paddle brush Rat Tail comb 2 Clear elastic bands 1 Hair band 3-5 Bobby pins Flexible-hold hairspray Double Lace Braid High Bun Instructions: Step 1 / Brush through the hair to remove any tangles. I am working with second day hair and leftover curls. Step 2 / Next part the hair in a deep side part on the right side of the head and clip away the hair on the right side. Step 3 / Divide off the hair at the crown and use a sectioning clip to keep this out of the way. Step 4 / With the section remaining on the left side pick up a 3″ long slice of hair near the part and divide it into three smaller pieces. Step 5 / Cross the strand on the right over the middle and then the strand on the left pushing the braid back as far as it will go so there is a large space between the braid and the forehead. Step 6 / Cross the right strand over the middle and then the left strand again and bring in a new slice of hair, continuing to keep the braid angled far back from the forehead. This will allow volume in the braid once it’s done. Step 7 / Continue the braid, only bringing in hair along the hairline until it reaches the left temple. Step 8 / Now braid the section to the bottom in a regular braid, tying off the end with a clear elastic band. Step 9 / Next let down the hair on the right side and divide off a section of hair about 2″ back from the hair line angled diagonally downwards towards the back of the head. Step 10 / Create a second lace braid towards the back of the head, only bringing in along the hairline like the previous braid. Step 11 / Once the braid reaches the left ear and that is the last section brought in then braid to the bottom, tying off the end with a second elastic band. Step 12 / Now brush all the hair up into a high ponytail and add in the braids. Step 13 / Remove the elastics from the ends of the braids and carefully unravel them. Step 14 / Take a hair band and loop it over the ponytail as if securing it in place. On the last loop, however only pull the hair part way through so as to create a small bun with the ends hanging down the back. Step 15 / Take small sections from the front of the bun and bring them down towards the head, pinning them in place. Step 16 / Continue pinning small pieces until the front of the bun looks the way you prefer. Step 17 / Take the ends hanging down from the back of the bun and divide off a small section. Step 18 / Loop it up towards the hair band and gently tuck it into the band to create a loop. Step 19 / Pick up a new piece and tuck it in as well, continuing until the hair is all tucked; I did three pieces total. Step 20 / Gently pull on the top and bottom of these pieces to make the bun more full and symmetrical. Step 21 / Take a comb and carefully brush up the back of the hair, from the nape of the neck towards the bun, to smooth out the hair. Step 22 / Gently pull on the edges of the braids to make them appear more full. Step 23 / Then mist the style with hairspray and smooth down any remaining flyaways.
At long last, here's the frequently requested bouffant updo tutorial! This is one of my go-tos for a quick and easy updo, and it can be done on short or long hair. In my opinion, it's one of those hairstyles that looks better as the day goes on, when it loosens up and comes a little undone. Click through for the full, step by step tutorial on how to recreate this look, along with some tips on getting great volume (which I learned from Chris McMillan at the Living Proof headquarters).
This guide covers everything from attire to bach parties.
