Quick and easy braided updo tutorial for beginners

November 4, 2016 By Hair Romance 8 Comments

Hair Romance - Quick beginner braid tutorial video

I’m back with another video tutorial for an easy hairstyle that you can wear anywhere. It’s quick enough to do for school or work, but I think it’s pretty enough to wear to a wedding or a party.

Although I said it’s a braided updo, you really only need to know how to do a basic braid or a plait.

This style is great for beginners and will take you less than three minutes to do.

What you need:

  • For this style, you need two small hair elastics and some bobby pins

Step-by-step tutorial:

  1. Separate the top half of your hair and clip it out of the way.
  2. Braid the bottom section. Create a braid (plait) by splitting the bottom into three equal sections. Cross the left over the middle, then the right over the left and continue down.
  3. Secure the end of the braid with your elastic. Stretch the braid out by pulling at the sides to make it wider.
  4. Braid the top section. Repeat the same steps on the top section so you have two braids in your hair.
  5. Twist the bottom braid into a bun. Curve your braid around to form a bun and pin in place with bobby pins. Don’t forget to tuck the ends in!
  6. Wrap the top braid around the bun. My hair isn’t that long so it just fits around my bun and I’ve tucked the ends under. Pin in place with bobby pins.

    This is so beautiful! I know a lot of girls who can be a bit intimidated by up-do’s. They’re all over Pinterest and Instagram as perfect wedding hairstyles but this just proves they’re totally do-able as day-to-day hair too. And they just make you feel that little bit more glamorous – when you want your hair up, it doesn’t have to be dreaded ponytail time!
