Low braided bun We were just as excited as the rest of the world when Kate Middleton finally wore an updo this summer. Not only because the lovely braided bun was sophisticated with just the right amount of texture, but also because it's now our go-to style for the upcoming weddings on our schedules.
How-to: Create a side part and smooth hair back into a ponytail at the nape of your neck. "Leave out 2-inch sections just above the ear on each side," says Zinno. "Braid these sections as well as the ponytail." You should now have three braids: one large and two smaller side braids. Gently loosen the ponytail by tugging outward on the big braid, then wrap the braided ponytail around the base, pinning as you go. Take the two side braids and criss-cross them at the base, pinning the remaining ends underneath the wrapped pony.
There were a bit too many braid styles in here for me, but overall I love these hair ideas. It is always challenging to keep your hair off your neck in a creative and pretty way. It's nice to get some inspiration.
