Are you searching for a flirty and fun up-do to go perfectly with your fall wardrobe? Here’s something simple and versatile that’ll leave you looking fabulous no matter the occasion: the blossom bun! It’s not only adorable but super easy to style. Here are the hair items you’ll need:

Tools: Comb, hair elastics (small and large), bobby pins

Once you’ve acquired these items, follow the instructions below.

Step 1- Start by making a small French braid on the side. Secure it at the end with a hair elastic.

Step 2- Part the hair and gather the loose portion into a ponytail.

Step 3- Braid the ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic.

Step 4- Wind the smaller braid around the top of the larger braid and secure it in place with a bobby pin.

Step 5- Now, wrap the larger braid around several times (the number of times will
vary based on hair length). Make sure that all loose ends are tucked in, and
secured with a hair elastic.

Step 6- If necessary, strategically pin parts of the bun to hold it up more firmly.

Step 7- Step back and admire the final product!

Remember, you can also try variations of this style to create something all your own. Look out for another tutorial soon, and never be afraid to give your hair some extra flare!
