Hey everyone! Today, I want to show you a quick, 3 strand wrapped side braid updo. This braid is so cool looking and it's easy too!


With a few practices, you'll have the hang of it in no time. This is an easy fall hairstyle to try out. Let’s get started.

Tools and materials:

  • 1 clear elastic or hair tie of your choice
Making a regular braid

1. Make a regular braid

Divide your hair into three equal sections. 


The first part will be like a regular braid. Take the inside section (the one closest to your neck) and cross it over the middle strand.

Then take an outside section and cross it to the middle.

2. Slice the inner section and wrap

If this seems tricky, see the video 0:30- 0:40.


Now for the fun part! Take the strand closest to your neck and split it in half.

Then wrap it around all the rest of the hair, going around and then under.

Next, add the small part back into the inner section of hair, then cross the inside section over the middle section.

3. Slice the outer section and wrap

Now do the same process with the outer section of hair–take off a small strand of hair, then wrap it around the front of all the rest of the hair.

Then add it back into the outer section.

4. Repeat

Now repeat the process, switching off between the inner and outer sections of the braid. Continue this braid as far as you can go, then tie it off with a clear elastic.

At this point in our side braid tutorial, the braid looks kind of like a mummy, and that’s not the look we’re going for!

5. Volumize the side braid updo

“Pancake” the larger sections woven by the skinny section by pulling it out gently.

Continue to pinch each wrapped section and pull all the way down the braid.

That final step makes the side braid updo really unique.
