This is one of the looks that I created for my Nikki J. shoot with photog William Anthony last month. I documented the steps as best I could despite the mayhem that surrounded us on set. I had to share it with you! I think it is so irregular and pretty.

This hairstyle works best on very long hair.

The Treasure Bun!

Make a tight ponytail on top of the head, then leave out a strip of hair to fishtail braid, take the rest of the hair and twist it into a big tight bun. Use large bobby pins to secure the bun. Then, do a tight fishtail braid in the small strip of hair that you left out. It may take a while! Now wrap that long braid around the bun a couple times, pinning it into place. Tuck in the end.

I have a secret to share…….I didn’t use a single pin in this hairstyle on Holley because her hair is so long that I can just secure it by wrapping the ends in tightly at the base. They just stay put! Cray-Cray. Love this look.
