Next, add a hair donut over the hair elastic to prepare your locks for the next stage of your hair makeover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Create a skinny braid and weave this into a thicker plait: <\/strong>For the following step, take a section of hair from your high ponytail and weave this segment into a skinny braid. Continue weaving this skinny braid into a loose, pancaked plait, and gradually integrate surrounding sections of hair into the woven braid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Knot the braid in place and adjust the braided segments with your fingers:<\/strong> Continue plaiting your braid and then use a hair elastic to knot it in place. Next, use your fingers to slightly loosen the braided sections for a textured effect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Wrap the braid around the hair donut and secure with bobby pins:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve perfected your braid, gently wrap it around your hair donut and use a series of bobby pins to keep your new high bun under control. As a final step, spritz your entire hairstyle with a strong hold hairspray to maintain your elegant new style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking for a flawless hairdo for the ultimate springtime evening, try taking your beauty cues from this tutorial which merges the classic braid with a refined high bun style.
