How To Create an Easy Braided Updo Hairstyle
Sharing my secret (well maybe not so much anymore) on how style an easy braided updo that looks and is effortless.
Looking for a pretty and easy hairstyle for your next special occasion? Check out this tutorial on how to create an easy braided updo!
Since I work in the restaurant business (just through school, thank the Lord) I have to wear my hair up basically 85% percent of the week.
Alas, I’ve gotten pretty crafty at finding ways to avoid getting incredibly bored with it. And this is one of my favorites.
Literally, every time I wear my hair this way someone asks how I do it.
So I thought I’d share a tutorial with you on how easy this really is (despite my better judgment telling me to keep letting people think I actually put effort into this).
A Braided Updo is a Great Summer Hairstyle
The best way to keep cool and enjoy a beach-like hairstyle all day long is by wearing an elastic band.
This will stay in place no matter what you do, whether it’s running errands, a date night, or going out with friends for the evening!

Materials Needed for Easy Braided Updo
Steps in Creating an Easy Braided Updo
Step 1 — Braid your hair into one strand.
Step 2 — Begin twisting your hair around the base of the braid (kind of like cinnamon bun, which I could go for right about now).
Step 3 — Tuck the end of the braid under and bobby pin into place. Depending on the length of your hair, you may need more than one pin.
