Fab French Braided Bun Updo [On Natural Hair]
Back with a styling tutorial on my natural hair- the french braided twisted bun! Hope you like!
Hey I'm back with a French braided bun updo tutorial, so I blow-dry my hair first just to get a sleeker and to make it easier to work with next, I'm taking my comb and making a part ear to ear and then I'm putting the front portion away For now now, for the back, I'm gon na be doing a French braid going upwards, and I start off with three pieces and pretty much just bring over one piece at a time grabbing a little hair with it as I go, so I overlap them in, like A weaving type of pattern to create the French braid - and this was definitely a little difficult for me doing this on myself, going up work. But I worked it out and now I'm just going to finish off the braid and plant it to the end. So I'm going to take down the front and to smooth my edges, I'm using some eco styler gel and then I'm putting that all up into a bun on the top of my head now to make my bun super full, I'm using one pack of regular braiding Hair - and I just twisted it all the way down and secured it at the end, with a rubber band so with the rubber band, it came with I'm going to attach it to my bun and bring it around in a circle to make an even bigger bun. Then secure it with a few bobby pins, both my edges a bit more and shape the bun, and that is it. So this is the final look guys it's a nice classy updo with a bit of an edge. So I hope you enjoyed and I will talk to you soon - bye

Jess: I appreciate originality in the natural hair community on youtube sooo much. Great tutorial, girl!
Nicole Cruz: I'm going to a wedding in two weeks and this style is perfect!! Thank you sooo much! My go to styles in the summer are the side braid and messy bun because your hair is contained, not frizzy and out of the way during those hot summer days.
Simone Stephenson: Inspired! I am struggling with my "new" natural hair. This style is simple, gorgeous and best of all...ACHIEVABLE. Thank you so very much!
Marisol Jimenez: I'm currently transitioning from relaxed to natural hair (makes 1 yr without relaxing this month) and its such a journey. I am learning to style my hair for the first time. Looking to learn how to do some updo's and I am soooo glad I found you. I hope to try some of your hairstyles. I just hope I'm able to. Keep the videos coming!
Kellionta' Mason: I love how simple this style is and it doubles as a protective style also. My favorite summer hairstyle is any type of bun where your hair is protected and out of the way. Love your channel!!!
Netta J: This is definitely on my "to do" hair list. My favorite summer hairstyle would definitely have to be any type of protective style. From box braids to marley twist to sew ins and uparts/wigs. I LOVE me a good protective where I can be lazy and not have to mess with my real hair lol
artsygirlify: your tutorials are so good! You are a very talented lady! You "taught" me how to put on my eyelashes after I was so scared to try them for the first time and everyday I do my eyebrows the same way you do yours...they look so much more natural and nicer! Thank you girl! Keep it up! No fav summer style...I have butt length locs in a goddess updo wrapped in a scarf...one more thing...what do you do to your skin to make it so clear and glowing. I use Palmer's Success for about 2 years now with lots of great compliments, but I have a feeling my skin is getting use to it and that brown glow has gone flat lately.
