Natural Hair Bun & Bow Updo Tutorial

Brown Girls Hair

This hairstyle was inspired by a picture I saw on Pintrest below. You can go to the website of the original tutorial HERE. I left out the plait that goes around the bun because I like the style without it.

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR THIS HAIRSTYLE:

Ponytail Holder
Sock Bun/Hair Donut
Bobby Pins

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put hair in a high ponytail.

2. Put hair into bun leaving the excess hair hanging in the front, back, or on the side based on where you want the bow to be. If your child has short hair, use a small bun. She can rock this too!

3. Separate the hanging hair into 3 sections. The 2 sections on the sides should be thick and equal in size. The section in the middle should be smaller than the 2 sections.

4. Using your fingers as rollers, roll the left section of hair around your fingers forming the left side of the bow. Pin it into place with your bobby pins.

5. Do the same thing with the right section that you did above with the left section.

6. 3 strand plait the middle section then roll it around itself to look like a flower in the middle.

7. Add hair accessory to the middle of the flower and/or around the bun, if desired.

ALL DONE!

This style is perfect for a flower girl or any special occasion.

Easy Natural Cornrow Hairstyle for Girls

Brown Girls Hair

This hairstyle is very easy to do. Just make 3 sections and start braiding the two front sections straight back and stop braiding at the mid part line. Then continue plaiting the hair to the end. Do that for both front sections.

Then create a pony tail for the back section and include the two front plaits in the ponytail. Then 3 strand plait the back ponytail and wrap it around like a bantu knot. That's it! 

I made the 4 small cornrows around her edges because they keep the edges neat longer to help make the hairstyle last for a couple of days. It also prevents her from playing with her edges (a bad habit that she has).

If you want to do the 4 cornrows around the edges, do them first, then do everything else.
