Hi everyone! I am Amber from Barefoot Blonde and @amberfillerup on Instagram. My husband and I live in New York City with our 15-month old, and I am having a baby girl in November! Follow along with more of my blogs over at Barefoot Blonde!
Today I am excited to be sharing a braided messy bun with you. It is one of those styles that you can’t really mess up because it has an “undone” feel to it and can be as messy as you want it to be. Hope you guys like it! Take a peek at the steps below…
1. Dutch braid both sides of a middle part and tie them off with a clear elastic.
2. Pull apart/pancake both braids to make them nice and chunky.
3. With the remaining hair in back, section off a small section (about three inches starting from the bottom of your hairline) and braid that into a three-strand braid.
4. Take the hair above the braid you just made and the two Dutch braids and create a messy bun.
5. Wrap the three-strand braid around the messy bun.
6. Pin the ends in place and hairspray. And you’re done!
Thanks for today’s post, Amber! We truly love it.
Will you give Amber’s braided bun a try?
