I really love this one. It would look so good with natural hair. Is it braided straight down in the back and then put in a bun?
Wow..this is really pretty. It's simple, but it looks so sleek.
I'll definitely check out the Essence website. Thanks for sharing!

The second one is so pretty, and it looks really simple. It's a side part with a cornrow going across the whole side. And the part that's hanging is a fishbraid. It's very similar to plaiting, but you section the hair in two. I won't be able to explain it well, but both videos should help you.

Easy Do-it-Yourself Hair Updos
© Trevy Thomas
Jul 9, 2007
Making a hair bun is easy to do yourself, and a simple way of getting a classic hair updo that will keep you cool, fix bad hair days and give you a chic hairstyle.
Ladylike buns are a celebrity favorite. When you can afford your own at-home stylist, you can leave the details to a professional, but for those of us who want a glamorous, easy updo we can handle ourselves, a few tips are necessary to pull off this great do-it-yourself hairstyle.
Choose Your Look
First, decide what kind of look you're after. A Friday night happy hour with the girls calls for a casual, even messy look. This is not the time to pull out the hair gel. You want to look like you secured a bun to your head without even bothering to check the mirror, even if you're an obsessive beauty who doesn't go out without several re-checks. An elegant look is great for a job interview or presentation, and a hot date calls for an attention getting romantic sexy bun. Don't sweat it. These tips will have you throwing your hair up and getting out the door in no time.
Casual Bun
This updo really can be done without a mirror, and works on almost any hair length.
This look is great for medium to long hair. If your hair is naturally wavy or curly, don't worry about straightening, but if there's any frizz around your scalp, deal with it with a hair product or by using an iron.
You want the ends straight for a smooth look, so your iron or a dryer and round brush with help get the "tail" of your bun ready.
This bun will have you looking like your formal day look just got tussled by some awfully fun activity, and you're still a bit too breathless to fix it. Good for longer hair, great with a romantic blouse and smoky eye makeup, this is a trick you'll want to use for special dates, or when you'd like to attract some to your life.

An elegant look is great for a job interview or presentation, and a hot date calls for an attention getting romantic sexy bun. Don't sweat it. These tips will have you throwing your hair up and getting out the door in no time.
Casual Bun
This updo really can be done without a mirror, and works on almost any hair length.
- Rake your fingers through the front of your hair, gathering it all into a pony at the middle of the back of your head.
- Hold the pony against your head with your left hand, and with your right, casually twist it to the end.
- Wrap the twist around the base until you've reached the end.
- Secure as needed with either pins or a claw.
- Leave a little hair sticking out from your pin for some sassy movement, and you're done.
This look is great for medium to long hair. If your hair is naturally wavy or curly, don't worry about straightening, but if there's any frizz around your scalp, deal with it with a hair product or by using an iron.
You want the ends straight for a smooth look, so your iron or a dryer and round brush with help get the "tail" of your bun ready.
- Make a horizontal part above your left ear, and follow all the way around to the top of your right ear, "splitting" your scalp hair in two sections, and leaving the bottom hair hanging down.
- Gather this upper hair section (secure with a pin temporarily if your hair is thick and difficult to hang onto) with your left hand, and using your right hand, roll the hair as if around a curler until you reach your scalp. Secure with pins on both sides.
- Repeat the above step with the remaining loose hair in the bottom section, and secure this bun directly below the first, giving you an elegant double bun. Works great for thick hair that is hard to secure in one section, and offers a really pretty, elegant look.
This bun will have you looking like your formal day look just got tussled by some awfully fun activity, and you're still a bit too breathless to fix it. Good for longer hair, great with a romantic blouse and smoky eye makeup, this is a trick you'll want to use for special dates, or when you'd like to attract some to your life.
- If your hair can handle some texture, now's the time to encourage it. Use a body building styling cream on stick straight hair, and get as messy a look as you can by scrunching hair or drying with a diffuser. Wavy or curly looks will be ready to start.
- Loosely dissect your hair in half from ear to ear. Then pull out a few thick strands around your face for a billowy effect.
- Leave the bottom section of your hair loose. Then twist the tail of the upper section, and wrap it into a formal bun in the middle of the back of your head and secure. All remaining hair should be loose and flowing.
- If the down part of this updo needs help, use a curling iron on each section until you've got some loose looking waves. Add a light spray and you're done.

Braided Bun
These are the instructions on how to arrange your hair in a braided bun:
1). Make a pony tail in the middle of the head's back and secure it with a ribbon or safe elastic
2). Part 2 sections from your pony to make 2 separate pony tails - Left and Right3). Braid each tail. Secured them with a transparent or light safe elastic
4). Wrap one braid in a clockwise direction and the other counterclockwise
5). Secure each braid underneath your bun with a pin or a couple of pins

HOW TO MAKE A MESSY HAIR BUN WITH HAIR STICKS / PINS
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE A MESSY HAIR BUN WITH HAIR STICKS / PINS!
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE A MESSY HAIR BUN WITH HAIR STICKS / PINS!
(Learnt from an Italian gentle woman who kindly demonstrated this technique to me)
Many people who buy our hair pins ask me how to make a bun with their hair, and this is my favourite way! It takes a bit of practise, (about a week of consistent trying), and you can "feel" when it is secure yourself. My hair is very straight, fine and slippery, and it is difficult to make a bun with hair like this - but if I can do it so can YOU! I am using a plain horn hair stick, one of my favourites to secure a bun. The second pin is for decoration, and I wear all sorts, depending on my clothes and how I feel at the time...
Have fun trying this one!
1. Form a ponytail at the back (no elastic needed).
2. Twist twist twist!
3.Transfer twisted hair to left hand, get hair stick with right hand and twirl the twisted hair around the stick 1 or 2 or 3 times depending on the length of the hair or how much "messy bits" you like at the end.
4. After twirling completed, angle the stick down to the scalp to take a tuft of hair like doing a 'sewing stitch' from the smooth hair close to the scalp.
5. Turn the angle of the stick to go down and through the hair bunched around the stick, a sort of half French Roll will result...
6. Arrange the "messy bits" that come out of the end ... and adjust the hair on the scalp if it feels too tight in the front originating from where the 'sewing' tuft was used at the back...
7. Then add another hair pin to give extra stability and for decorative purposes!
8. From the side with extra pin in.
