Lilla Rose Braided Bun Tutorial

Looking for a new way to style your hair with Lilla Rose? I’ve been having fun trying new sizes of clips, and new hairstyles. We are trying to avoid turning our air conditioning on yet, and the days are getting hot! I stay cooler if I put my hair up somehow.

Here is a great tutorial that is perfect for keeping longer hair up during the hot months. A Lilla Rose consultant created this with pictures she took of her daughter. I love the finished look!

1. Section off two sides from the front of your hair.

2. Braid each side.

3. Pull them back, along with the rest of your hair and fasten in a low ponytail.

4. Braid the rest of your hair as far as you can go.

5. Twist it up into a bun and secure it with a Lilla Rose Flexi Clip that fits your hair thickness.

I love this picture. My husband drew the old fashioned woman picture for me when we were courting. I framed it a few years ago to have out instead of tucked away in my drawer. 🙂 I loved highlighting some of my large Flexi Clips using this picture!

If you are unsure of what size clip you need for your unique hair texture and length, you can watch this sizing and styling video. Or, I’ll give some further hints below the video.

Want an easy way to tell what size you are without the sizing video? Put your hand around your full ponytail and squeeze down…If the amount you’re holding resembles a nickel, you’re an extra small. A quarter, you’re a small. A 50 cent piece, you’re a medium, and anything bigger and you’ll need large or xl. This would be for a ponytail or tails-up. A half-up would be a smaller size, and a French twist would be larger.
