You'll need:
One big elastic
4 small elastics
Bobbypins
A flower or a bow if desired

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Start off with a ponytail with all of the hair.
2. Divide the hair into 4 parts: 2 parts with a little more hair and 2 parts with a little less hair.
3. Use the 2 parts with a little more braid to create 2 regular braids. Finish off with a small elastic.
4. Use the 2 parts with a little less hair to create 2 twist braids. Finish off with a small elastic.
5. Twist the braids and twists around the big elastic and pin them into place with bobbypins. Try not to twist the braids and twists too tight around the elastic.
6. If you like, you can give the bun a little color by using a flower clip or a small bow.

Good luck!

Tip: of course this bun can be done with all kinds of braiding techniques!
