The Cutest Side-Bun You Ever Did See: A Go-To Summer Hairstyle

I'm a little bit inept in the arena of making my hair do what I want it to do (much like the way I'm inept at cooking fried chicken... which you should read about in my Hub "How NOT to Fry a Chicken" if you haven't already).  I figure that there are many other lovely ladies out there who also have this handicap, so when I find a hairstyle that is 1) easy as pie and 2) cute as a button, I love to share!

There is also a conflict of interest that arises in the summertime: way-cute hats versus the not-so-cute hat hair. Well... look no further! This easy hair-do looks adorable under a wicker-type fedora I stole from my little sister (Shh! Don't tell!).

Alright. All you need is a few bobby pins... my hair is pretty thick, but I find that I only really need about six or seven bobby pins. You'll also need three or four hair ties.

Like I said, my hair is fairly thick, but it is also naturally straight. If you have naturally curly hair, 1) I envy you and 2) this style should still work, but the end result obviously won't look like mine (but it'll still be pretty!).

I probably should have been a little clearer about how to do the twist (good thing I'm slightly awkward on camera! Haha...). You're going to want to start twisting, adding hair from the hairline as the twist gets longer. So, you're going to want to start with a small chunk of hair close-ish to where your hair is parted. You're going to then twist a little, grab a piece from the hairline, twist, grab a piece, etc. Hope that clarifies!

And there you have it, folks! Special thanks to Arthur Windermere and Teresa Schultz for helping my not-so-tech-savvy self figure out how to post videos on here. You should definitely check out some of their Hubs :)

Stay beautiful, ladies! (and gentlemen too, I suppose!)
