Braided Bun

This stunning braided bun was created for a bridesmaid by Sofie but is so versatile it could work as a great look for festival goers or just those with a little time to go foraging for flowers! Its a look inspired by your own creativity so don't be afraid to experiment a little before you've got what feels great.  

We picked up the floral elements at our neighbors Tankerton Flowers. Hayley provided us with the most beautiful purple tones to match the brides theme. We also used a hair band and some grips.

There was some prep involved before the style began, you could try making some pre-curls in the hair to help fix them in a more sculpted shape when you start placing them in a bun shape.

When creating the look at home it's good to start with a simple ponytail, Sofie placed this at the bottom center of the head however you can really play around with the height. She then plaited and pinned the rest of the doo, incorporating the flowers as she went. She fixed the whole style with Bedhead Masterpiece Shine Spray

Sofie also braided the front of the hair, going alone on this can be tricky if find french plaits tricky, we'll be doing a tutorial next week but in the meantime just try a simple plait across your hair line and clip behind the ear.
