Braided hairstyles, alongside with messy buns are super trendy hairdos in this season. So why not join these two themes together? Braided bun is a cool innovation to traditional bun making technique, while choppy bun at the top of the head is a nice add to braided pattern in the back. If you’re looking for an inspiration for your party hairstyles or more casual updos, try this fun and edgy hairdo. This style will look great on long, below shoulder hair, wavy or textured straight hair.

If you have naturally wavy hair all you need to do to prepare your hair for further styling is to use small amount of moulding mousse to enhance the texture of your hair. If your hair is straight as an arrow use more mousse, blow-dry the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, while scrunching them to create texture.

Lean forward and start braiding from the nape of the neck to the crown of the head direction. Use Dutch braiding technique – thanks to this weaving method your braid will be popping out nicely, instead of lying flat on the head. Compared to French braiding, Dutch weaving pattern is inverted, so each of the hair sections goes under, not over the braid. You can finish braiding at the hairline above your forehead or leave out bangs and finish a little earlier. Secure the braid with an elastic and use the thin ending of your comb to lift section of hair in the braid. Be careful to not pull out any strands, though.

Use the hair from the braid ending to create a bun. Twist them into a loop and pin the bun’s base to the scalp. Unfold the bun and pin its sides. Because you’re after the messy look, there is no need to keep it sleek and tidy, but make sure your bun is well secured.
