As you know, I have been loving Pinterest lately as it allows many of my fans to @Mindy “MrsHairdo” me in their hairstyle pins so that I can have a better way to keep track of fan suggestions.
This is one that I have actually been doing on myself a lot lately, because I saw the idea online from the girls at Real Simple. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received! Fans have been repinning the style, so I decided to film a tutorial.
What I love most about this bun hairstyle is its simplicity. You will see that it really does not take much to create this elegant hairstyle. If you accessorize a little bit , it can make a great updo for prom/homecoming, as well as a great hairstyle for communion or a flower girl in a wedding.
This style involves separating the hair into three even sections in the back, then taking each strand individually and twisting them until they twist upon each other {forming a bun}. Two of the buns you twist and pin in the same direction… the last one you twist in the opposite direction. You may even opt to twist the bangs back before creating the buns for an even more elegant look.
Securing the buns can be tricky, and you may choose to use Goody’s Spin Pins for more security, but on this day we could only find bobby pins. {If you do this style on your daughter, please know that it may not hold well if she plans to be active in PE that day or during sports.}
As you can see, I also did this style on myself that day. My hair is shoulder length, with bangs, and quite layered. The style holds well for me.
Did you notice my little friend on my shoulder? If not, then look closely again! Crazy! He just flew from the flowers onto my shoulder and my husband and daughters thought it was hilarious!
