Quick and Cute Up-Do Tutorial

When I am at work or at the gym, I want my hair to be out of my face.

I do not always want to put my hair in a simple ponytail or bun.

I also want my little baby hairs in the front by my face to be secured as well. I don’t like looking all crazy with little sprigs of hair sticking out everywhere.

This is an easy up-do that I get a lot of compliments on every time I wear it.

This up-do keeps my hair pulled back and out of my face.

I find this style works best with dirty hair, not freshly washed hair.

Working in healthcare, I must keep my hair out of my face. I have the same need at the gym.

Functionality and style.

Note

Please excuse the way I look in the these pictures. I was getting ready to head to the gym. Since I was doing this hairstyle, I wanted to show how I do it.

What You Need

Brush, and two hair ties.

2 hair ties. I use the ones with no metal.

Step One

I brush out all of my hair.

I usually brush it back while brushing my hair out.

It is going to be braided back on my head.

Hair all brushed out.

Step Two

I take a very small chunk of hair in the front and center of my hairline.

This will be the start of a dutch braid.

I divide this small chunk of hair into 3 sections to start the braid.

Step Three

With each of the 3 sections, I add a little more hair from each side.

I incorporate these into the section of hair I am braiding back.

Step Four

I continue to add hair in the dutch braid until I get to the crown of my head.

I keep the braid as tight as possible. This helps give it a little more finished appearance.

Step Five

I reach the crown of my head. Then, I pull all of my hair up in a ponytail.

I secure it with the first hair tie.

Step Six

I then pull the ponytail tight to my head.

Just tight enough that it feels comfortable and secure.

Step Seven

I take the ponytail and I start twisting my ponytail all the way until the end of the ponytail.

My entire ponytail is now a twist.

I then take the twisted ponytail and wrap it around the into a bun.

I wrap the twist around the base of the ponytail where I secured it with the first hair tie.

Step Nine

Now I take the other hair tie and secure the bun with it.

I put the hair tie around the base of the bun. Exactly like I did the ponytail.

If there are any chunks or sprigs sticking out, I will bobby pin them down.

Conclusion

My hair is up out of my face.

This is a very quick hairstyle for when I am crunched on time.

It’s also perfect for when I just don’t feel like messing with my hair.

It is out of my face, my baby hairs are all tucked away, and I am off to the gym.
