Color is another dimension to play around with when it comes to braided bun styles. Braids allow the freedom to choose whether to color hair before braiding, or intertwining hair extensions or other materials into the hair while braiding.

As stated previously, this can be done by either combining the hair extensions with the originally attached hair from the beginning of the braid, or by gradually adding locks of hair further down the braid for a more blended look. Weaving in hair extensions is also a healthier, less damaging, lower-commitment option for adding color to your braided bun.

Those looking for the lite version of this braid hairstyle can go for colors that are not too different from their natural hair color, while those seeking more contrast and dynamism in their style can try brighter, artificial-looking colors.
