One of the reasons braided bun hairstyles are so popular is because of their versatility. They range between casual coiffures and fabulous formal ‘dos, but you can wear them anywhere, for anything, and you’ll fit in seamlessly wherever you are.

The good news is that if you know how to braid and how to twist a killer bun, you can probably create most of these styles yourself. You can also flash your favorite photo at your stylist, and she or he will work some magic on your hair.

How to Tie Braids in A Bun

For this hairstyle you will need just a few things:

• Comb
• Braided hair extensions
• Rattail comb
• Hair gel
• Boiling Water
• A few sectioning clips

After you have washed your hair and removed all the knots and tangles, you are now ready for braiding and wrapping your gorgeous braids in a bun.

1. Section your hair and decide how many braids are you going to make. Use the rat tail comb to divide the parts, and sectioning clips to hold them.
2. If you have opted to go with hair extensions, pick the one chunk of hair. Divide the extension into 3 equal parts.
3. Put the extension near the hairline, at the center of the chosen section you are braiding.
4. Combine extensions with natural hair and divide your hair into 3 sections.
5. Braid your hair for about two stitches and then start adding more hair into the hair.
6. Use gel on your hands to make the braiding easier and your hair smoother.
7. Once you have reached the end of your hair, soak it in the boiling water to seal it.
8. If you want more braids, repeat these steps until your hair is completely braided.
9. Take all your braids and simply wrap them into a low or high bun.
10. Secure the bun with bobby pins.
