Hey, friends—it’s Katie here to share a quick and easy bun with you today. I don’t know how much time you typically have to get ready for the day, but sometimes I have time to really fix my hair before the day’s obligations, and other days I just have to do the fastest possible thing and get myself out the door.
Having a few quick and easy styles in the ol’ hair bank can save you time for other important things… like stopping for donuts.

Step One: Go ahead and braid your hair. Nothing fancy here—just your average braid.
Step Two: Once you’ve made it to the end of your hair, take one of your three strands in one hand. Push the braid up to the nape of your neck with your other hand.
Step Three: Once you get the braid up to the neck, begin pinning the braid. As you can see from the photo above, you will have a tail. Don’t worry! We’ll pin that, too!
Step Four: When your bun is feeling pretty secure, wrap the tail around the base of the bun and pin it in place. Once it feels secure, you’re all done!
I love this style more than a typical braid wrapped into a bun, because it has a tighter look and feels more secure. Now, go enjoy some donuts! xo. Katie
I never knew you did this by pushing the braid up the hair! That’s so clever! I will have to try this, although I have hair past my waist, so could be a little bit too long! It looks great on your hair though.
Wow, this braid is pretty awesome! I think we should add it to our collection of braids. We actually did a summer hair guide with many hairstyles, and this is definitely worthy of being on there! We are so giving this a try.
If you are looking for more braids, you can check some out at in the hair guides section at the link below! My 2 cents!
Thanks so much for this hairstyle, y’all. I’ve done it for work a few times, and it’s such a good go-to in the morning!
This looks so cute! Seems quite easy to do. I will definitely try it soon, thank you!
This has made me kind of regret getting my hair cut! Fingers crossed it’ll have grown back to a decent length by next summer so I can give this a go
This braided bun so chick and nice.. Thanks for the tutorial 🙂
Love this … what a great idea!
Very cute, but I worry this’ll tangle my curly hair a lot. I’ll try it!
such a cute idea!

Tried this today and received many compliments!! Thanks for the easy quick hair idea. Although I still need some help with the bobby pins and making it a bit more secure.
This is a great idea! Although I have really thick hair and sometimes pins can come loose. Goodie makes these amazing little screw- like pins that are incredibly secure. You can get them at any drug store. It would be a good alternative for those of us with tons of heavy hair. Thanks!
It looks easy peasy! I have short hair and I don’t think I could go with a braid, but I’ll try it anyway 🙂

So simple, but so cute! I’ll definitely have to try it out when my hair grows out a bit(:
Beautiful!! I think my daughter could do this with her hair. I definitely cannot.. but can I still go have a doughnut? 😛
I love this, it’s simple and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Yes!! I want to try it now! My hair might be too thick and too short, but I’ll give it a shot!
