 Hello it's Missy! Thank you for watching! Today's tutorial is an updo version of my previous video. I did a topsy tail type of braid that's done with elastics and I did a ponytail version on that video. Today is going to be an updo so make sure to comment down below which version you like better, the ponytail or the updo.

To begin this hairstyle I'm going to be parting my hair on the right side since I'm placing my braid on the left side of my head. I'm going to first divide up a section of hair that I'll leave out to frame my face. Then I'm going to pick up a section of hair next to the hairline and brush through it to use for the first section of my braid. Using a clear elastic band I'm going to tie the elastic over the section a few inches down from the part line. I want the top of the braid to be softer so I'm not placing the first section right on top of my head but instead a little bit lower. Once it's tied off I'm going to create a gap in the hair right above the elastic band and then flip the ends up through the gap and then pull the hair back down again so the two side pieces above the elastic are twisted. Now I'm going to gently pull on small pieces of hair above the elastic to add some volume and create a fuller section. Once that's done I'm going to create a new section of the braid so I'm dividing off two new sections of hair on either side of the previous section. The forward section will be from along the hairline and the back section will be from the top of my head behind the first section that I already tied off. I'm going to combine the two sections together over the top of the previously tied off section. Using another clear elastic band I'm going to tie the two sections together about an inch or so down from the previous elastic then I'm going to flip the ends up and through the gap above the elastic band so the two side sections are twisted. After it's tied off I'm going to gently pull on the two sections above the elastic band to make them a little puffier and fuller. Now I'm going to divide off two new sections of hair for the next part of the braid so I'm separating off a small section from along the hairline underneath the previously divided off section. Then I'm taking a section from the top of my head behind the previous section and I'm going to combine the two sections together over the top of the previously tied off section. I'm going to use another clear elastic band to tie them together and then flip the ends around the elastic band to create twisted side sections. Then I'm going to go back over the hair and carefully puff them up by gently sliding small sections up and out of the elastic band. Now I'm going to pick up two new sections for the next piece of the braid so I'm dividing off a section from above my ear and another section from the top of my head. I'm going to combine them together over the previous section and tie them off using a clear elastic band. Then I'm going to flip the ends around the elastic band and then go back over the two sides and carefully slide small sections up and out of the elastic so they're puffier and fuller. Once the braid reaches my left ear I'm going to create two more sections of the braid. I want to angle these two sections towards the back of my head since I'll be tying up the rest of my hair at the back of my head. I'm going to repeat this process working my way back towards the back of my head dividing off two sections of hair one from along the hairline and one from the top or back of my head combining them together over the previous section and tying them off using a clear elastic band. Then I'm going to flip the ends up and through the gap above the elastic band before puffing them up by gently pulling small sections out of the elastic band. After I've created the final sections of the braid I'm going to tie the rest of my hair into a low messy bun. I'm going to combine all of my hair together at the nape of my neck. Using a hair band I'm going to wrap this over the hair until the last wrap of the hair band and instead of pulling all the hair through I'm going to pull it part way and create a large looped section with the hair. Now with the ends sticking out the bottom I'm going to divide them into two equal sections and wrap them around the sides of the loop so they meet together back at the top of the bun. Then using a clear elastic band I'm going to tie the two sections together about an inch or so up from the ends of the hair. Now I'm going to twist these two sections so the one on the right I'm going to twist to the left and the one on the left will go over to the right and then I'm going to bring it back down and pull the looped section through the gap above the elastic band so the two end pieces that were tied together are now wrapped around the big looped section we created at the beginning. Then I'm just going to pin the elastic band underneath the bun at the nape of my neck using a couple bobby pins and once the bun is all wrapped and pinned I'm going to go back over it and kind of pinch and pull on small sections to detail it a little bit adding some volume and texture to the bun. This is one of my favorite ways to wear a messy bun I think it's so fun with this fishtail looking type braid so let me know what you think about this hairstyle down below in the comments.
