Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins

The Braided Bun

July 11, 2012

Hey guys! I’m excited to bring you (or the 7 of you that are currently following, thanks btw) the first hair tutorial! First of all, apologies for my video editing, practice makes perfect so I have hopes of improving. Also, sorry that fur baby’s bum bum is on display the whole video. Somehow I was oblivious she was ever back there!

Anyway, this is the braided bun and is fairly easy. For hair tutorials, I base them off a 5 point Bobby Pin system (1 being an easy style and 5 being fairly difficult or just time consuming):

The Braided Bun:
Hair Length: shoulder to long
Difficulty: 2 Bobby Pins

What do you think, is the Braided Bun something you’ll be trying?

    Hey, Amy! New here. ๐Ÿ™‚ Great tutorial! Have you ever tried spiral bobby pins? My hair is thick and I only need one or two. I think you'd like them… they come in your beautiful blonde shade too.

    Anyway, just wanted to say you are SUCH a doll. Congrats on the engagement and happy planning!
