Here’s a simple braided bun hairstyle that you can do in a few minutes. I added clip-in extensions to the braids, but it also works without them.

Tools and materials:

  • Clip-in extensions (optional)
  • 2 small hair ties
  • 1 large hair tie
  • Curling iron (optional)
Braiding hair

1. Braid

Make two thick braids on one side of your hair towards the front, leaving a small section of hair free at the front.


Secure the braids with hair ties.

Tying ponytail

2. Ponytail

Gather the braids and rest of your hair into a low ponytail.


Wrap the large hair tie around the whole ponytail once.

You can make the bun as elegant or messy as you like and leave more or less of the braids showing.


It’s an easy, versatile style you can wear anywhere.
