Have you ever watched Youtube videos of
girls doing up do’s on themselves and you have no idea how on earth they do
that? I mean, when I start clipping my curls up, well the shape always goes a
little off and for the life of me I just suck at up do’s.
Do you remember in
primay school (or infants/high school) ? When you first learn how to do a
plait, you end up attempting with two stands instead of three? Maybe not. But
if you did, well done it was a type of plait, called the ropeplait so it’s
pretty easy to do.. Don’t worry if you didn’t there are instructions to do so..
However, this little up do is so simple and
looks so pretty.If you are on a budget and you’ve got a wedding or even a prom
to go to this is such a quick hair do and it can look so elegant. You can dress
it up by putting a dutch plait in the front or floral clips in with it.
So what is this up-do called that I’ve
fallen so madly in-love with? It’s called a two rope plait bun. It’s great for
Thick, Wavy, Frizzy and Curly hair but if you have thin or straight hair you can
easily make it more interesting by teasing the top and making the rope plait more volumised
by pulling it. However, this look does look it’s best with long hair..
So what will you need?
- A brush
- Four hair bands
- Hair Clips
- Hairspray (Possibly)
And what do you need to do to achieve this look?
- Firstly, it’s important to brush you’re hair out of any knots and make sure you have dry hair.
- Secondly, Split the hair in half down the centre and then create two pig tails within the two pigtails create a rope-plait. To do this, split your hair in to two and twist the hair on the right side, going to the right and then go up over the left section with the twisted right section.. (It’s pretty simple really)
- Secure your rope pigtails. On your left side, Wrap the first rope-plait around the hairband and create a bun. Then do this on the right side. Secure both buns with hair grips.
- Finish the look with hairspray
