The Braid Bun in 3 Easy Steps

1. Start with texture.
If hair is wet, apply volumizing spray try Dove Oxygen Moisture Root Lift Spray ($6,amazon.com)  then blow-dry with a round brush, says Guido, a Redken creative consultant in NYC who created a similar look for the fall Dolce & Gabbana runway. When dry, mist with dry shampoo, like L'Oréal Paris Texture Series Energizing Dry Shampoo ($6, amazon.com), from ears down.

2. Do the twists.
Part hair down the middle, then weave a braid just above the nape of your neck and secure with a hair-matching elastic. Twist braid into a bun, tucking the elastic under, and pinning in place with matching bobby pins.

3. Make it romantic.
For night, loosen a few strands around your face, letting them fall softly. It's easy!
