HOTD #4 Easy Messy side bun with french braid tutorial (how to everyday hairstyle)

☆ I must apologise for 1) the microphone on my computer. It sounds awful! 2) My cold! It won't go away so I sound so bunged up! Hopefully it will clear soon and my commentary will be easier to listen to!

☆ If you are worried that you are not going to have enough volume in your bun then go ahead and tease a little. Just don't go crazy! We all know teasing is bad for your hair.

☆ I'm wearing this style just for a normal day but there is nothing to say that with a little 'jazzing up' this could easily be worn for a fromal event. Maybe even a prom?
☆ Take your time when plaiting. Although this is a messy style you do want to guide the braid in a certain direction.
☆ As always - be patient. If at first you don't suceed - try - try again! It worked for me. I'm sure it will work for you too!

@sissy14ish Is that you in the videos you have uploaded? If so, I think you definately have enough at the front for the french plait but the tricky thing is doing something for the bun. How many inches of hair do you have at the nape of your neck? With 2 or more you could possibly twist sections and bobby pin them to the sides? I'm going to have to have a think about this one. I'll get back to you x

@oakoscar100 yah it is :) uhh this is so stupid but i have no idea hwere the nape of the neck is lol... thanks so much!

@sissy14ish underneath your hair at the back of your head right where it stops being your neck and starts being your head xx

@oakoscar100 oh haha it is roughly 2-3 inches and then gets longer at the front. (it was an angled bob but i'm trying to grow it out :)
