Braid Updo Hairstyles 2013

Braid Updo Hairstyles 2013 I seriously have a crush on this beautiful updo!  It’s probably one of my favorites ever. I did this updo on Bee clear last May and as often happens, I’ll try something and love how it turns out and have finished product pictures but have no step-by-step pictures for you. So finally after all these months I did this as a holiday style in December and took pictures along the way. It turned slightly different but you’ll get the idea. And in the end, how you wrap the micro braids is completely up to you.

Make an off-center part Don’t part too far back on the top of the head. It will just go back 2 inches or so. Part off small section down to ear and braid On the right side make a small micro braid with that section of hair. Don’t part the hair off behind the ear you want a bit smaller amount of hair for these braids. Secure the end of your micro braid with a rubber band. This step is sort of optional but I wanted things to be a bit more secure but you technically could just make a braid and forget the ponytail.

You’ll want this fairly low by the nape of the neck. In your low ponytail make a loose braid and secure the end with a rubber band.  You want this loose so you can spread it out a bit easier in the next steps. As we’ve done in past rolled braids styles, you want to roll the end of the braid into the middle and basically roll it up on itself until you’re covering the base of your ponytail.

Braid Updo Hairstyles 2013 : Secure with bobby pins as needed.  Then I sort of pulled on the braid a bit to loosen it up once it was secured.  I didn’t want you to totally be able to tell that it was a braid when all was said and done. Pull one of the micro braids back and secure with a hair pin on the top edge of the rolled up braid. I prefer hair pins not bobby pins for things like this but a bobby pin will work.
