How to do this hairstyle?

1. Divide the hair into three parts by parting the hair left off centre and right off centre.
2. Put an elastic around the left and right part to keep it out of the way. You can now start braiding the middle part.
3. Start a  5 strand Dutch braid with this and add hair once.
4. Before adding hair for the second time, slice off a small section of hair. Do this on both sides.
5. Repeat step 4 twice, so you have 3 loose strands. Of course you could do more, but make sure you have the same amount of loose strands on both sides. 
6. Finish off the 5 strand Dutch braid at the neck and add an elastic.
7. Now start a French braid on the left side. Use the loose strands from the left side of your 5 strand Dutch braid to add in. Finish off the braid near the neck with an elastic.
8. Repeat step 7 on the right side.
9. Now take all 3 braids together and put an elastic around them.
10. Use the hair from the ponytail to create a 3 strand braid. Finish off with an elastic.
11. Turn your braid into a bun and pin it into place with bobby pins. If you like, you can add some flower pins or other decorations.

Good luck!

Variation tips: instead of French braids you could also do Dutch braids and instead of a regular braid you could of course use another braiding technique for your bun.
