How to do a Ballet Bun with Braids
By Niyah Pratt, Former DWC Ambassador
Dancers come in all different shapes and sizes, and hair is no exception. All different types of hair from textured to straight are thrown into ballet buns every single day, but sometimes it can be a struggle to find the right way to put up your hair. Former DWC Ambassador Niyah Pratt is here to show you just how you can do it! Here is how to do a ballet bun with braids:
First, flip your head over and gather all of your hair to the top of your head.
Secure it up into a ponytail with a hair tie.
After you have the ponytail in, you are going to start a twisting motion to gather all of the hair and begin to wrap the hair around the top of the ponytail.
Once all of the hair is gently wrapped around the top of the ponytail, use another hair tie to wrap it all into place.
Lastly, secure any loose pieces with bobby pins and then you have a gorgeous ballet bun!
We hope that this quick how-to helped you learn to do a ballet bun with braids! Be sure to check out the video below for a more in-depth description!
