21 Nov How to Create Three Braids with a Messy Bun
Looking for a hairstyle that combines style with a relaxed touch? Here’s how to create three braids with a messy bun, perfect for any occasion.
- Prepare Your Hair
Start with freshly washed hair. To combat humidity and avoid frizz, use a deeply hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Choose products with natural ingredients that seal in moisture, ensuring your strands remain soft and manageable.
- Protect and Prep Your Hair
Before using heat tools, apply a heat protectant. This will not only shield your hair from damage but also help reduce drying time and create a barrier against frizz.
- Braid the Three Sections
Divide your hair into three equal sections. Start by braiding a classic three-strand braid in the centre, from the roots to the ends, and secure it with an elastic band. Repeat the process with the two side sections.
- Create the Messy Bun
Once you have your three braids, gather them into a single ponytail and secure it with an elastic band. To add volume to the bun, tease the ponytail by backcombing with a fine-tooth comb. Then, wrap the hair around the base of the ponytail to form the bun.
- Set the Hairstyle
Finally, spray a strong-hold hairspray that also resists humidity to ensure your hairstyle stays in place throughout the day.
