Steps in Creating a Top Bun with Braid
Prep your hair
Experimenting with different hairstyles is fun, but not if your hair breaks easily. That’s why we recommend using Sunsilk Strong & Long Shampoo to help strengthen your strands. This way, you don’t have to worry about breakage every time you style your hair.
Condition your hair
Never skip conditioning your hair to keep it soft and moisturized. And with Dove Hair Fall Rescue 1 Minute Serum Conditioner, you can reduce hair fall and make your hair more resilient.
Make a high ponytail
Begin your top bun with braid by putting your hair in a high ponytail. Then, insert your hair donut to help you shape your bun.
Form your bun
Cover the hair donut with your hair from your ponytail. After forming the bun, put a hair elastic over your hair donut to hold it in place.
Braid your hair
Divide the leftover hair into two equal sections. Take one section and braid it, then tie the ends with an elastic.
Wrap
Put the first braid around the base of your bun. Then, secure it with kirby grips or bobby pins.
Repeat
Put the other braid around the base of your bun as well. Don’t forget to stick it to the bun using kirby grips or bobby pins.
Spray
Spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray on your top bun with braid to get rid of frizz and have a more polished-looking result.
All done!
With a top bun with braid, you get to sport a fresher-looking bun hairstyle. This is perfect for just about any occasion.
