Twisted Bun Updo

For the past two days, I've been stumped on what to do on N's hair. I washed, moisturized, and banded, her hair over the weekend. Since, I had a bloggers version of a writers block lol. I decided to just grab a comb and begin freestyle parting. Surprisingly, it came out pretty nice.

I started by dividing her hair in half (ear to ear.) 

I began freestyle cornbraiding, on the back of the hair. I made some swirly kind of parts, and straight. With freestyle parting anything goes, be creative with your parting and just let it flow. 

Once, I reached the hair off of the scalp. I began to form a two strand twist. I twirled my finger and used holding gel to prevent the twists from unraveling.

Once the back was complete, it was time to work on the front. Again, I did not create a clear design. I created random braids, and two strand twist the ends. Remember, the key is focus on your parting. The neater the part, the more nicer the style will become. 

Finally, I placed all of the twists in a ponytail holder. I wrapped the twists to form a bun, and tucked the ends so that it won't show. I used 3 hair ties to secure the bun. 

Tip: You can also use a sock bun or filler to help the bun to look more fuller/thicker.

Simple & Stylish!

 I added the tiara, to show that this style is perfect not only for bigger girls/adults, but even the little ones.
I believe the tiara came with a barbie we brought awhile ago (ekk Im not sure lol )
