Joyus teamed up with CGH to provide you this cute bun idea that has been very popular during 2013, except I am using a hair bun tool that I have been carrying around in my purse for months!
In fact, the past two days we found our neighborhood without electricity and heat for two days, after an awful ice storm here in Dallas! Yes, we were freezing, but did have a few fireplaces going to provide heat. That being said, there wasn't any way to shower, or curl my hair without getting sick, so I instead exclusively relied on hair buns!
This bun style uses a French-Up technique, which we had shown briefly in a video two years ago, but never filmed a full tutorial for it. I love the French-Up High Bun, and since it was the style I wore for those two days with out electricity, we felt it appropriate to show you how to create it!
{If you are careful CHG tutorial viewers, you will notice that this is the exact same tool that Brooklyn used on me in the DisneyStyle video we posted a few months ago! You can see the video here... http://youtu.be/W2Cj86-MBfw}
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, hairspray and bow accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium

[ MUSIC CHARITY, VANCE ``, Icing.'', ], -Hey everyone., I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.. Today, I'm going to show you how to do a French-up high bun.. So many of you guys know that here in Dallas we just had a crazy ice storm and we were out of power and electricity and heat and all that stuff for several days., And we just got it back on today. So we're so grateful to be warm again and be able to film for you guys.. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for us in the meantime., But while we were under those conditions, of course, I had no way to style my hair using any kind of curling iron or anything like that.. So this became one of my go-to styles and I thought it would be really fun to show you guys today how I did it. So to begin with you're going to want to figure out where you want your bun to be placed on your head.. So I like mine, like right here., I don't want mine, clear up here on my forehead or anything crazy.. So then, you're going to take your hair and you're going to just go back from your ears up and take a section. So I'll, do it again. Up from your ears and take that top section to about where you want your bun.. So that's about where I want mine. And then I'm going to pull this out of the way.. You do not want all of your hair into the bun or it's going to just look funny when you actually are done with the bun.. This is the hair you're going to be working with when you braid. So now you're going to go and turn your head over., You can even lay on a bed or over a couch anything like that. You're, just going to flip your hair over and you take Your comb or brush just make sure there's no snarls in your hair. And then you're going to take a section right at the nape of your neck and begin your braid.. Now. This can be a little bit tricky on yourself upside down, but you just kind of work with it. You get used to it or you can have somebody else. Do it if you want. The trick, is to just make sure that those pieces you pick that hair from are all completely flat when you put them in because on the backs of our heads, we don't want any crazy, sharps or bumps. So pick up hair. Add it in continue our French braid. [ MUSIC CHARITY, VANCE, ``, Icing.'' ] -And I think we're just about there.. So now I'm just going to continue a braid for a little bit -- a few stitches of a regular braid. And secure all of that with an elastic. Yep. There. We go., OK and you've, got your French braid all done.. Now, what you're going to do is let that hair out that we had secured before. And you're going to take all of the hair together now -- and my mirror here, -- using a comb you're going to go ahead and just try to comb it all. In. Figure out about where you want your bun., And this is where you make it pretty. Comb, it all together.. I have little fly: aways --, phew, -- right on the side, so I'm going to spray just a little bit of finishing spray to help them stay. Put. And when you get that nice and secure then go ahead and take an elastic and secure it all. When you can go back in there find that braid and release that part just so that it's into the regular braid now -- regular ponytail, I mean. So Once you have your hair, all in your ponytail with your braid up the back you're ready to create your bun.. Now I'm going to show you guys one of my secret weapons to bun-making, because I know lots of people do the soft bun.. But it's not one of my favorites because I find them to be kind of temperamental., So I actually stumbled upon this little thing called the Wrap Up.. It has a little space in the middle.. It came in a package that looks like this. And I found it on a website called joyus.com, which is a great place to go.. It has like health and beauty and fashion videos and also products., And you can go and you can check out the videos and shop at the same place.. So I found this.. I saw a video on it and decided I needed to try it and I loved it., It's one of my favorites., So you split it like this. You're, going to pull the hair through that middle part and then you're going to squeeze it down onto the hair. So it's kind of tight. And we're going to pull it down the ends of our hair. And I have layers so I can't go all the way down or my layers begin to fall out., But you want to go down far as you can and then you Begin wrapping. Put that piece in front and then you just a wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap your hair up until you can't wrap anymore.. Then you go around to the back and inside the Wrap Up. There'S like a little piece of metal that if you bend it just kind of stays put., So you kind of put those two ends together and give them a squeeze.. And then what I do is just kind of pull the hair of my bun around to that. Back side to hide those two ends together like this, until they're all nice and put together., And then you can even take a little bobby pin if you want and slide it in there to kind of secure them.. So when I'm finished with the bun, I like to just take a cute bow and just put it in my hair as well., And it just draws a little bit of attention to the braid which is fun.. Ok, so here's the completed style. Ta-da.. Now, if you guys are interested in a Wrap Up for yourself I'll put a link in the description box below., They even have a 20 % off coupon code for your first purchase. Right now. I can't talk. So I'll. Stick that down there as well. Make sure you guys check it out, and we will see you guys next week. Bye, guys. -And begin twisting them together., But the trick of this is you want to twist them, so they are flat against each other.. So we're going to try and keep the braids as flat as possible and twist them. [ MUSIC CHARITY VANCE `` Icing.'' ], -Choo-choo., -Ta-da., -Yea., (, CLAPPING, ) -Brooklyn's, wanting to go. Look at her. -I know.

Bethie Bee: I just want to say thank you; thank you so much for teaching me how to do so many cute hairstyles on my little girl.

You have opened up my imagination, and now my three year old will look like the princess she always wants to be! Thank you again!

The hairstyles that i have achieved are: the fishtail, the fishtail french braid, the bow, the bow french braid, the star, Katniss's braid, waterfall braid, cage braid, pancake braid, the straw curls, waterfall twist, and many more. I would've listed more, although i could not remeber them all. Happy new year and keep making videos! :)

Carisa Joyner: This will definitely help me for my ballet bun
Erika Rojas: Hi, I saw this girl while grocery shopping the other day with a similar hairstyle, but hers was a reverse French braid on both top and bottom and met in the middle to become a bun. I tried it on my daughter already but both parts fall out of place when putting them together. Do you have a video similar to that by any chance or do you have any suggestions?
Grace Wilson Music: hi mindi, I do a lot of dance and I always try my best at buns but then I just get really fraustrated because they always end up falling out, especially the Sophia lucia bun. I have very thick long hair and I was wondering if you could recommend a style for me? thanks x
Moss Boss: This looks sooo cool! When I have long enough hair I will definitely try this! How do you come up with all ur hairstyles?
25ginab: The hair style is so cute! I tried it myself sadly didn't work out to well.
