Two plaited bun hair tutorials!

Heya! Firstly I hope you all had a great Easter, I definitely ate too much Kinder chocolate!
For my blog post today, I will be showing you how to do two simple plaited bun hairstyles,which can be worn at whichever occasion you like!

Upside-down dutch braid into a bun

Step 1] Flip your head upside down and grab a section at the nape of your neck 

Step 2] Split it into 3 and start a normal dutch braid (ie braiding the side strands UNDER the middle), adding in sections to the outer strands of the plait. 

Step 3] Once you have done three stitches (as you can see in the pictures), tie it off with an elastic, then bring all the hair up into a messy bun and secure with pins

Step 4] Pull out the bun, to give it a messy look and pancake the braid to give it a fuller look!

You can also do this style with a French plait, ie braiding the side strands OVER the middle but I think the Dutch plait stands out more!

Plaited 'rosette' style bun

Step 1] First, part your hair to a preferred side and section off some hair at the top

Step 2] Simply plait this section

Step 3] Then roughly make it into a bun, and pin in places; this doesn't have to be neat

Step 4] With the remaining hair, split it in half and make two plaits

Step 5] One at a time, bring the plaits up and around the bun previously made and pin to secure in place

I love both these hairstyles, and I enjoyed doing them on myself! This proves they are simple but effective!
