Natural Hair Faux Bun

This hair style is very simple. You will need:

  • Brush
  • Gel (or whatever you use to slick your hair)
  • Rubber Band
  • Textured Braiding Hair: For Example- Marley Braid 
  • A different texture of braiding hair: I used Regular Kanekelon 

Steps:
  1. I used the gel on my wet hair and I slicked it up into a high bun. This bun is where I would attach my fake hair. 
  2. Let your hair dry!!! 
  3. Braid your braiding hair in one big braid or twist. But leave some pieces out for a bang
  4. Attach one end of the hair you braided to your bun with a rubber band or the band that comes on the hair. 
  5. Wrap the large braid around your ponytail to form a bigger bun around your little bun. 
  6. Bobby Pin the bun down until it is secure enough for you. 
  7. Now pin the bang piece to one side of the bun and swoop it over your forehead to the other side and pin it. 
  8. YOUR DONE!

How to Crochet Braid

This hairstyle is actually a 3 day style because on the third day it was such a fail I had to take it out. Now the end may not look like a fail but the upkeep and maintence of THIS TYPE OF HAIR is very hard. Now crochet braids with other types of hair I can maintain. This hair was truly a hard task and I could not take it but here is the how to. 

First you want to start off with freshly washed, conditioned, moisturized and corn rolled hair.


You take the latch hook and you slide it under your cornroll while the hook is OPEN. 


You then place a loop of the hair onto the latch hook and you close the latch. Be very careful because you do not want to snag any of your hair in the process. 


You then pull the hair through underneath the corn roll. 


You will be left with a loop of hair, You then do a slip knot with the hair from the other side. 


After you make the knot or loop you simply pull the hair through. 


Once you get the hang of it you will have beautiful and uniform knots with hair on them. 


This is my big crazy hair! 
To maintain this look you must braid your hair up every night! Small tight braids so it can last. They you simply pluck it out in the morning.
